Growing up as a slave in an urban area of Missouri allowed William Wells Brown to live a life that was different from that of the typical plantation slave. This book reprints two of Brown's best-known writings, ""Narrative of William W. Brown, a Fugitive Slave"" and ""My Southern Home"".
Originally published in 1853, "Clotel" is one of the first novels by an African American. In it, Brown treats the themes of gender, race and slavery in distinctive ways, highlighting the mutability of identity, as well as the absurdities and cruelties of slavery.
