Violence in the Black imagination : essays and documents
In Violence in the Black Imagination, Ronald T. Takaki presents three short novels by major African-American leaders in the nineteenth century: The Heroic Slave, by Frederick Douglass, the leading black abolitionist; Blake, by Martin Delany, the father of black nationalism; and Clotelle, by William Wells Brown, a pioneer of the black novel. The novels are accompanied by substantive essays which provide biographical information on the authors and explore the common theme of their works -- the issue of black revolutionary violence in antebellum America
