Description

Harriet Jacobs's Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl remains the most-read woman's slave narrative of all time. Jean Fagan Yellin recounts the experiences that shaped Incidents-the years Jacobs spent hiding in her grandmother's attic from her sexually abusive master-as well as illuminating the wider world into which Jacobs escaped. Yellin's groundbreaking scholarship restores a life whose sorrows and triumphs reflect the history of the nineteenth century, from slavery to the Civil War, to Reconstruction and beyond. * Winner of the 2004 Frederick Douglass Prize, presented by Yale Universitys Gilder-Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery, Resistance, and Abolition, awarded to the years best non-fiction book on slavery, resistance and abolition, the most prestigious award for the study of the black experience.
