Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass

This book reads like a strategy handbook for liberation from domination.  Douglass’ strategy involved reading and writing. What does self education have to do with liberation, find out inside.  

Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit is a text that has been drawn into relation with GWF Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit.  The theoretical master-slave dialectic described in the phenomenology of spirit can be read as an outline of the plot of Douglass’s life experience.
