Samenvatting

My Bondage and My Freedom is an autobiographical slave narrative by Frederick Douglass, published in 1855 as the second of his three autobiographies. Building on his first narrative, it offers a more detailed account of his movement from enslavement toward freedom. After gaining liberation, Douglass is known for becoming a prominent abolitionist, orator, author, newspaper publisher, and an advocate for women’s rights. The book also includes an introduction by James McCune Smith, a figure Douglass describes in high terms as the “foremost black influence” in his life.
