درباره این ای-کتاب
In "Why is the Negro Lynched?", Frederick Douglass presents a compelling and urgent inquiry into the pervasive violence against African Americans, particularly the horrific act of lynching. Masterfully articulated, Douglass employs a poignant yet accessible literary style, leveraging both emotional appeal and stark factual evidence to expose the systemic racism embedded in American society. His essay not only highlights the immediate horrors of lynching but also situates it within the broader context of slavery's legacy, racism, and the struggle for civil rights, illustrating a grim narrative that confronts readers with the reality of human suffering and moral failure in a purportedly civilized society. Frederick Douglass, a former enslaved person and renowned abolitionist, dedicated his life to advocating for justice and equality. His personal experiences with oppression and his profound understanding of societal injustices profoundly informed his writing. Douglass's eloquence and passion arose from a direct confrontation with inequality, which shaped his lifelong mission to illuminate the disenfranchisement of Black people in America and challenge the moral conscience of his contemporaries. This essential work is a clarion call for awareness and action against racial violence, making it a crucial read for anyone seeking to understand the roots and repercussions of systemic racism. Douglass's incisive analysis and heartfelt plea invite readers to engage with the moral imperative of justice, urging them to confront the uncomfortable truths of history and their present implications.
درباره نویسنده
Frederick Douglass (c. 1818 – February 20, 1895) was a prominent American abolitionist, orator, author, and statesman. Born Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey into slavery in Maryland, he escaped in 1838 and became a national leader of the abolitionist movement in Massachusetts and New York. Renowned for his eloquence, Douglass wrote several autobiographies that detailed his experiences in slavery and his life after emancipation, serving as a crucial voice for human rights and social justice. His best-known works include 'Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave' (1845), 'My Bondage and My Freedom' (1855), and 'Life and Times of Frederick Douglass' (1881). In 'Why is the Negro Lynched?' (1894), Douglass addressed the scourge of lynching in the post-Reconstruction South. This scathing analysis reveals the economic, social, and political factors that led to the violent persecution of African Americans, advocating strongly for civil rights and equality under the law. Douglass's unwavering advocacy for equality and justice spoke through his incisive literary contributions, marking him as a critical figure in American literature and history. His works not only illuminate the struggles of African Americans in the 19th century but also continue to resonate in today's discussions surrounding race and civil rights.
