Title: FREDERICK DOUGLASS AND THE ATLANTIC WORLD
Description: "This innovative book focuses specifically on Douglass's Atlantic encounters, literal and literary, against the backdrop of slavery, emancipation, and western colonial process. Sweeney considers the effect of extraterritorial sites - for example Ireland, Haiti and Egypt - on Douglass's writing, self-construction, national, class and racial identity, and status as representative US American man."--Jacket.
