Autobiografie van een Amerikaanse zwarte slavin die de onderdrukking en de seksuele bedreiging van haar meester niet langer kan verdragen en zeven jaar lang onderduikt. Een Amerikaanse slavin komt op 12-jarige leeftijd in dienst van een onmenselijke arts die slaven beschouwt als bezit dat een zekere financiC+le waarde vertegenwoordigt, maar geen menselijke gevoelens heeft. Als zij de onderdrukking en de seksuele bedreigingen van haar meester niet meer aan kan, weet zij zich te verbergen in een hok, tot zij zeven jaar later naar de vrije Noordelijke staten kan vluchten. Linda Brent was omstreeks het midden van de 19e eeuw slavin bij een arts en zijn familie. Nadat zij was ontvlucht schreef zij dit autobiografische verslag, dat in 1861 werd gepubliceerd. Het gebeurde zelden dat een voormalige slavin haar ervaringen naar buiten bracht. Het meeste materiaal over slavernij gaat over mannen. Dat Brent goed kon vertellen bewijst het feit dat zij de lezer nu nog weet te boeien.

Work Description

The true story of an individual's struggle for self-identity, self-preservation, and freedom, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl remains among the few extant slave narratives written by a woman. This autobiographical account chronicles the remarkable odyssey of Harriet Jacobs (1813–1897) whose dauntless spirit and faith carried her from a life of servitude and degradation in North Carolina to liberty and reunion with her children in the North.
Written and published in 1861 after Jacobs' harrowing escape from a vile and predatory master, the memoir delivers a powerful and unflinching portrayal of the abuses and hypocrisy of the master-slave relationship. Jacobs writes frankly of the horrors she suffered as a slave, her eventual escape after several unsuccessful attempts, and her seven years in self-imposed exile, hiding in a coffin-like "garret" attached to her grandmother's porch.
A rare firsthand account of a courageous woman's determination and endurance, this inspirational story also represents a valuable historical record of the continuing battle for freedom and the preservation of family.

Excerpts

I WAS born a slave; but I never knew it till six years of happy childhood had passed away.
