I Was Born A Slave

Yuval Taylor (Editor)


Over 120 autobiographies of ex-slaves were published as books or pamphlets between the mid-eighteenth and early twentieth centuries; all subsequent African American literature is descended from these seminal works. I Was Born A Slave collects the twenty most significant slave narratives and arranges them chronologically in two volumes to form a mini library of essential black writing.
