Pressezitat
“Manifesting a command of rhetorical and narrative strategies rivaled only by that of Frederick Douglass, Jacobs’s autobiography is one of the major works of Afro-American literature.” —Henry Louis Gates Jr., The New York Times“This may be the most important story ever written by a slave woman.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Even for those who have read extensively about the South’s peculiar institution, this autobiography of a slave will not easily be forgotten.” —American Heritage
