Why is the Negro Lynched? - Frederick Douglass

Popis produktu

Written just a year before his death, ‘Why is the Negro Lynched?’ is one of Douglass’ most moving and passionate speeches. Still sadly-pertinent today, his skill as a wordsmith is captured in passages that discuss everything from law and respect for human life to religion and the necessity for belonging. An expert orator, Douglass presents his arguments as though they were part of a court case, deftly switching between the roles of prosecution and defence, before passing sentence against the white establishment of the time. An important book for anyone and everyone. Frederick Douglass (1818-1995) was an American abolitionist and author. Born into slavery in Maryland, he was of African, European, and Native American descent. He was separated from his mother at a young age and lived with his grandmother until he was moved to another plantation. Frederick was taught his alphabet by the wife of one of his owners, a knowledge he passed on to other slaves. In 1838, he successfully escaped slavery by jumping on a north-bound train. After less than 24 hours, he was in New York and free. The same year, he married the woman that had inspired his run for freedom and started working actively as a social reformer, orator, statesman, and women’s rights defender. He remains most known today for his 1845 autobiography ""Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave."" saga egmont N new in stock ebook N N N N N N 124 CZK N N 784 N N N N N N N 2978 2 13227 19786 41738 why-is-the-negro-lynched-frederick-douglass Knihy knihy 5c841f212345d33dfdae67d0393de8034de193f8e0f954140fb76e3855d00732 ac43ab5357d97187db15a2d138aa8bedc44b369d244093a2192c573e57eff378 95d73723135f7cb0f285e5315779c6c13f21c10726b0bcce21c052a049fa0bd5 N N 2026-08-13 03:30:55 124 0 689690727 Two Articles by Frederick Douglass - Frederick Douglass https://www.dpbolvw.net/click-00cj_pid_token00-13717911?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.knihydobrovsky.cz%2Fe-kniha%2Ftwo-articles-by-frederick-douglass-689690727 https://www.knihydobrovsky.cz/thumbs/book-detail-fancy-box/mod_eshop/produkty/t/two-articles-by-frederick-douglass-9990003843470-5.jpg "‘Two Articles by Frederick Douglass’ houses two of the abolitionist’s most important essays on race and equality. The first essay, ‘My Escape from Slavery’, details his daring bid for freedom from a plantation as well as his experiences on reaching New York. The second, ‘Reconstruction’, is an open letter to the white readers of the ‘Atlantic Monthly’ magazine, highlighting the importance of extending the vote to African Americans and the need for equal rights. The two essays are startling pieces of writing, with both documenting the struggles faced by African Americans at the time. ´Two Articles´ will delight any person already familiar with Douglass' body of work.

While some saw Brown as a radical and a criminal, Douglass saw his friend as a man prepared to sacrifice his life so that others might be free. Passionate and powerful, the speech not only extolls Brown’s virtues, but also highlights the political and social issues faced by African Americans at the time. ´John Brown´ is an important read for anyone with an interest in social justice and injustice.

Proving that the pen can be mightier than the sword, Douglass deftly used his linguistic abilities to create a rousing appeal to the English to shame America into abolishing slavery. Witty, moving, and always intelligent, this is a superb read for anyone with an interest in one of America’s most unsung heroes.
