Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass by Frederick Douglass - Summary and Analysis

Summary and Analysis of Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass by Frederick Douglass. Frederick Douglass's Narrative is not just about slavery. It is about that, of course; as a historical document, it paints a powerful picture of what it was like to be a slave, how the world looked from the bottom, and what kind of place America was when "the land of the free" was only free for white people. But while a lot of books were written by ex-slaves in the 1840s and 1850s, a lot of slave narratives read like documentaries, or worse, like Public Service Announcements. Frederick Douglass's narrative is by far the most important one, because he wants us to think about more than just the legal, historical, and political issues of slavery and freedom. He wants us to think about it as a philosophical question: what does it take for the human spirit to be free?... PLEASE NOTE: This is a summary and analysis of the book and NOT the original book.
