Frances Foster’s classic study of pre-Civil War American slave autobiography is now issued in an accessible paperback edition. The first book to represent these slave narratives as literary in the complete sense of the word, and the first study to call attention to the significance of gender in the narratives, Witnessing Slavery will be welcomed by both general readers and students of the American south, slavery, the Civil War, and race issues.
Frances Smith Foster is professor of literature at the University of California, San Diego, and the author of many books and articles on African American history and issues.
