Biography Of A Slave offers a concise, intimate biographical slave account that blends spiritual reflection with stark daily life in the South. It is at once a religious memoir and a historical document, revealing how church and faith sustained hope and challenged suffering in antebellum america south. Thompson's voice-clear, precise, and extraordinarily candid-speaks to readers curious about nineteenth century slave life and the larger arc of north american slave narratives. For historians, teachers, and students, the work functions as essential research for historians and a compelling resource for curriculum in classrooms and history teachers resources alike.
