THIS EDITION HAS BEEN REPLACED BY A NEWER EDITION. This enlarged edition of the most significant and celebrated slave narrative now completes the Jacobs family saga, surely one of the most memorable in all of American history. John Jacobs’s short slave narrative, A True Tale of Slavery, published in London in 1861, adds a brother’s perspective to Harriet Jacobs’s own autobiography. It is an exciting addition to this now classic work, as John Jacobs presents additional historical information about family life so well described already by his sister. Importantly, it presen

This is the most comprehensive study to date of Amy Tan’s work, offering close readings of her texts in the context of broader debates about the representation of identity, history and reality. In contrast with Tan’s own American-born narrator, and mainstream critics, Bella Adams looks beyond the stereotypes which appear in Tan’s books, and explores the ways in which Chinese immigrants and their American relatives struggle to understand each other’s "best qualities" via the Chinese tradition of the "talk story". She emphasizes Tan’s American narrators’ proc

The book emphasizes translation’s criti
