Описание:
Booker T. Washington, born in 1865 in Virginia to an enslaved mother and a white father, tells the story of his experiences after the abolition of slavery and his struggle to succeed in life with a newly-found freedom. This autobiographical work by Booker T. Washington is an historical archive of paramount importance, as it sheds light on the issues of slavery, race, the Reconstruction period after the Civil War of 1861 and the impact of all these on a man's life.
A nice edition that includes the text of Booker T. Washington's influential Atlanta Compromise Speech.
The Future of the American Negro was written in 1899 by American educator Booker T. Washington. It set forth his ideas regarding the history of enslaved and freed African-American people and their need for education to advance themselves. He believes that even though slavery is illegal, the freed African-Americans are still enslaved to the white people. Those who are freed cannot be members of society because they are not given the same opportunities. Washington also states that the African-Americans are not superior, but that they are definitely not inferior to the white people. Slaves have had a hard time throughout their life in the United States. Their strength, knowledge, and perseverance has been tested by the white people that have run their lives for the longest time. Washington's approach put him at odds with W. E. B. DuBois who wrote The Souls of Black Folk.
A nice, unabridged edition of this classic with 28 photographs and illustrations. Includes his influential Atlanta Compromise speech.
Up from Slavery is the 1901 autobiography of American educator Booker T. Washington. The book describes his personal experience of having to work to rise up from the position of a slave child during the Civil War, to the difficulties and obstacles he overcame to get an education at the new Hampton Institute, to his work establishing vocational schools-most notably the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. His goal was to help black people and other disadvantaged minorities learn useful, marketable skills and work to pull themselves, as a race, up by the bootstraps. He reflects on the generosity of both teachers and philanthropists who helped in educating blacks and Native Americans. In 1998, the Modern Library listed the book at No. 3 on its list of the 100 best nonfiction books of the 20th century.
