A new, sophisticated hardcover edition of a classic text that every American should read
Twelve Years a Slave tells the story of Solomon Northup, a free-born Black man who was kidnapped and sold into slavery in Louisiana in 1841. His true tale of captivity, torture and abuse brings to life the unimaginable evils of slavery in a time when it was yet to be outlawed. Equal parts slave, travel, and spiritual narrative, Twelve Years A Slave reveals Northup to be a person of astonishing strength and wisdom.
An insightful introduction by David Fiske reveals the world into which Northup was born, the kidnapping phenomenon to which he fell victim, and the legacy of slavery today.
