Blake; Or, The Huts of America

Více o knize

Through the journey of Henry Blake, a free man turned enslaved, the novel explores themes of resistance and liberation against the backdrop of 19th-century America. Stolen from his family, Blake's quest to reunite with his wife Maggie leads him to gather insights from fellow enslaved individuals, ultimately inspiring him to organize a rebellion. Delany's work, initially overlooked, has since resonated with movements advocating for Black empowerment and is recognized for its visionary narrative and historical significance in African American literature.
