- Synopsis
- In "Violence in the Black Imagination", Ronald T. Takaki presents three short novels by major African-American leaders in the nineteenth century: "The Heroic Slave", by Frederick Douglass, the leading black abolitionist; "Blake", by Martin Delany, the father of black nationalism; and "Clotelle", by William Wells Brown, a pioneer of the black novel. The novels are accompanied by substantive essays which provide biographical information on the authors and explore the common theme of their works -- the issue of black revolutionary violence in antebellum America.
