    Dette er en øjenvidneberetning om livet som slave i de amerikanske sydstater. Den er fortalt af Frederick Douglass, der selv var født til en slavetilværelse, men i en ung alder havde held til at flygte til nordstaterne. Her skrev han denne lille selvbiografi, der var med til at åbne amerikanernes øjne for slavesystemets ufattelige brutalitet.Bogen gjorde med et slag Frederick Douglass berømt, og han brugte resten af sit liv på at kæmpe mod slaveriet og for borgerrettigheder. Han, den tidligere slave, blev på den måde den første, centrale skikkelse i de sorte amerikaneres kamp for frihed og endte med at have sin gang i magtens korridorer i Washington.’En amerikansk slaves beretning er en klassiker’, og det er en bog, der kalder på følelserne. Den er vred, smertefuld, sørgelig, uudholdelig, varm og sine steder morsom. Men først og fremmest er den vedkommende, og den tegner med sin enkle stil og mange levende detaljer fra hverdagen et nærgående og indimellem overraskende portræt af en historie, vi alle sammen troede, vi kendte."Lad det være sagt straks: Hvis man kun vil læse én bog om slavernes vilkår i USA, så er Frederick Douglass’ lille selvbiografi et oplagt valg. … Sammenligningen med Solsjenitsyns 'En dag i Ivan Denisovitjs liv' ligger lige for, og det er ubegribeligt, at Douglass' klassiker først nu er oversat til dansk." ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Søren Nielsen, Politiken"Det er en bevægende historie, der siden har været referencepunkt for sorte politikere som Martin Luther King og Barack Obama. Med udgivelsen af sin beretning – og de følgende års mange publikationer – kom Douglass til at stå som et levende eksempel på berettigelsen af den frie sorte mand som medborger i det amerikanske samfund.For første gang foreligger Douglass' beretning nu på dansk; oversat af Hans-Jørgen Birkmose, der også har forsynet bogen med et glimrende efterskrift. (...)Det er en fremragende bog, der fortjener sin særstatus i den afroamerikanske kanon."Ulrik Langen, Weekendavisen "Den er fyldt med grusomme beretninger om sadistiske slaveejere, der piskede og ydmygede slaverne. Og om den stemning af total underkuelse, der herskede blandt de sorte. Skriftet er skrevet på en ligefrem måde og dets historier er lige så bevægende, som da bogen blev udgivet og vakte stor opsigt. Der er på alle måder en anbefalelsesværdig bog, der kan læses af såvel ældre som unge."Bent Blüdnikow, Berlingske Tidende*****"Et let tilgængeligt, men ikke desto mindre overmåde væsentligt dokument. (...)1845-historien er en utrolig og glødende historie. Douglass forsøger ikke at gradbøje ordet bestialsk. Det er groft, som det er, og det var, hvad slaveejerne var. (...)Hertil kommer et glimrende afrundende efterskrift af oversætteren Hans-Jørgen Birkmose, som i øvrigt skal roses for at yde Frederick Douglass' ligefremme og karske sprog i beretningen og hans retoriske præstation i 1876-talen fuld retfærdighed."****Per Pilekjær, Nordjyske Stiftstidende"Man fyldes med vrede, væmmelse og tristhed. Til gengæld opløftes man af Douglass ' ukuelige kampånd. 'En amerikansk slaves beretning' er et sammenhængende, stærkt, harmdirrende indigneret og stolt værk, der for nutidens læsere både skal læses for den utrolige historie men også som baggrund for de raceproblemer, der stadig præger USA i dag."******Thomas Ærvold Bjerre, Fyens Stiftstidende "Beretningen er gruopvækkende, bevægende og meget reflektererende over slavesystemet. Den kan varmt anbefales og kan nemt læses af elever."******Helle Askgaard, Gymnasieskolen"Her i avisen bragte vi for nogle år siden en artikelserie om bøger, der har ændret historiens gang. Douglass var ikke inkluderet, men til denne kategori hører afgjort " En amerikansk slaves beretning"." Michael Bach Henriksen, Kristeligt Dagblad

    Frederick Bailey doesn't know the year of his birth. Separated from his mother in infancy, he sees her only a few times, always at night, before she dies. His fellow slaves agree that his father is a white man. At the age of seven or eight, Frederick is sent from the Maryland plantation of his birth to Baltimore. His kindly new mistress starts teaching him to read, until her furious husband forbids it. Frederick realizes then that reading is his path to freedom, but his journey is long and horrible. In writing his Narrative, Frederick Douglass, a fugitive slave, revealed his slave name, the names of his masters and overseers, and the locations of his servitude. This volume also includes eleven selected essays and speeches.
