Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In 'Behind the Scenes: Thirty Years a Slave and Four Years in the White House,' Elizabeth Keckley offers a profound first-person narrative that intertwines her harrowing experiences as a slave with her life as a dressmaker and confidante in the Lincoln White House. Written in a straightforward yet poignant style, Keckley's autobiography provides an eye-opening perspective on racial dynamics and personal resilience during a tumultuous period in American history. Her work not only documents personal suffering but also illuminates the complexities of the political climate during the Civil War era, framing her insights within the broader historical context of the fight for emancipation and civil rights. Elizabeth Keckley emerged from a life marked by bondage to become a notable figure in Washington, D.C., as she navigated the turbulent intersections of race, class, and gender. Her unique position allowed her to forge critical relationships with influential figures, including Mary Todd Lincoln, shedding light on her life's contradictions and struggles. Keckley's narrative serves as both a personal testament and a valuable historical document, enriched by her experiences as a Black woman in a predominantly white, male-dominated society. This book is highly recommended for those interested in American history, civil rights, and women's studies. Keckley's articulate voice serves not only as a record of her own journey but also as an essential contribution to understanding the African American experience during and after slavery. Readers will find her story both inspiring and thought-provoking, encouraging a deeper reflection on the legacy of oppression and the strength of the human spirit. Seller Inventory # 9788028370800
