"The most comprehensive collection on Douglass."--Iyunolu Osagie, Penn State"A splendid, comprehensive anthology that contains the essential Douglass."--Robert E. Morsberger, California State Polytechnic University"A comprehensive selection of Douglass' works...the volume provides an excellent overview of Douglass' career, and the chronology and introductory material also seem quite useful."--David M. Robinson, Oregon State University"A most valuable and accessible volume--the best Douglass on the market for generalists. Excellent selection. Thanks for large type and generous spacing."--Agnes M. Jackson, The Claremont Colleges"These are troubled times for black and white Americans, and Frederick Douglass's is a voice that needs to be heard.
