Some are transformative, like that of Harriet Jacobs; others are lesser, like the brief one attributed to Harriet's brother, John S. Jacobs. The revelation, here, of a much longer, richer, and more radical version of John's story, is a major historical event. His work is all the more significant for having been written and published in Australia, outside the sanitizing and bowdlerizing influence of the American Abolitionist movement. Jacobs's full account is a startling and clear expression of the true thoughts, words, and wide-ranging experiences of a man once enslaved"-- |cProvided by publisher. 600 10 Jacobs, John S., |d1815-1875. 600 10 Jacobs, Harriet A. |q(Harriet Ann), |d1813-1897. 650 0 African Americans |zNorth Carolina |vBiography. 650 0 Fugitive slaves |zNorth Carolina |vBiography. 650 0 Enslaved persons |zNorth Carolina |vBiography. 650 0 Enslaved persons |zUnited States |vBiography. 650 0 Slavery |zNorth Carolina. 650 0 Slavery |zUnited States. 650 6 Noirs américains |zCaroline du Nord |vBiographies. 650 6 Esclaves fugitifs |zCaroline du Nord |vBiographies. 650 6 Esclavage |zÉtats-Unis. 600 17 Jacobs, Harriet A. |q(Harriet Ann), |d1813-1897 |2fast |1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJx8GyHQRQFJKXVdWFMkjC 600 17 Jacobs, John S., |d1815-1875 |2fast |1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJpDRjJhtQBmcDv4TjtVG3 650 7 African Americans |2fast 650 7 Enslaved persons |2fast 650 7 Fugitive slaves |2fast 650 7 Slavery |2fast 651 7 North Carolina |2fast |1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJqW4fbp3DFmdyrBFFbfMP 651 7 United States |2fast |1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJtxgQXMWqmjMjjwXRHgrq 650 7 African Americans |vBiography. |2sears 650 7 Slaves |vBiography. |2sears 650 7 Slavery |zUnited States. |2sears 655 7 autobiographies (literary works) |2aat 655 7 Biographies |2fast 655 7 Autobiographies. |2lcgft 655 7 Biographies. |2lcgft 655 7 Autobiographies. |2rvmgf 655 7 Biographies. |2rvmgf 700 1 Schroeder, Jonathan D.
