|
Explores the issue of slavery from an African American perspective. This book presents conflicting beliefs about race, the institution of slavery, and the possibilities of violent resistance. It probes the political and spiritual goals that fuel Dred's rebellion, and creates a figure far different from the acquiescent Christian martyr Uncle Tom.
