The History of Mary Prince pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
After enduring years of cruelty and abuse at the hands of several families who successively owned her in Bermuda and the West Indies, Mary Prince traveled to London in 1828, in the service of the Woods family. There she was granted her freedom in accordance with English law. But England's anti-slavery ruling did not extend to Antigua, and, in order to remain free, Prince had to abandon hopes of rejoining her husband, who had been left behind. Seeking help from Britain's Anti-Slavery Society, she was offered domestic employment and met her employer's friend, Susanna Strickland, to whom she dictated this gripping story of her life.
When it was published in 1831, Prince's History provoked a libel action and counter-suit and required three editions to keep up with public demand. A moving, painstakingly detailed record of the experiences of the author and of her fellow slaves, it became a powerful instrument in the Anti-Slavery Society's campaign against the slave trade. Sara Salih's introduction and notes place the narrative within the context of black history, and examine, as well, Victorian constraints, which required the narrative to be made palatable for contemporary audiences. This edition also includes a chronology and supplementary material on slavery and the case of Mary Prince.

评分"To be free is very sweet."
评分我偏心Jacobs,但是Prince这本书里很多的agency,对sexual content的silence,也非常有意思。Am I not a woman and a sister? 第一波女权主义是从废除奴隶制运动里诞生的啊,结合那些史料读更有意思——现在白人女和黑人男都被压迫了,我们是先解救白人女还是黑人男?
