Booker T. Washington, born in 1865 in Virginia to an enslaved mother and a white father, tells the story of his experiences after the abolition of slavery and his struggle to succeed in life with a newly-found freedom. This autobiographical work by Booker T. Washington is an historical archive of paramount importance, as it sheds light on the issues of slavery, race, the Reconstruction period after the Civil War of 1861 and the impact of all these on a man's life.
A nice edition that includes the text of Booker T. Washington's influential Atlanta Compromise Speech.
The Future of the American Negro was written in 1899 by American educator Booker T. Washington. It set forth his ideas regarding the history of enslaved and freed African-American people and their need for education to advance themselves. He believes that even though slavery is illegal, the freed African-Americans are still enslaved to the white people. Those who are freed cannot be members of society because they are not given the same opportunities. Washington also states that the African-Americans are not superior, but that they are definitely not inferior to the white people. Slaves have had a hard time throughout their life in the United States. Their strength, knowledge, and perseverance has been tested by the white people that have run their lives for the longest time. Washington's approach put him at odds with W. E. B. DuBois who wrote The Souls of Black Folk.

Описание: Booker Taliaferro Washington (1856-1915) was an African American educator, author, orator, and adviser to multiple presidents of the United States, who, between 1890 and 1915, was the dominant leader in the African American community. He came from the last generation of black American leaders born into slavery and became the leading voice of the former slaves and their descendants. A key proponent of African American businesses and one of the founders of the National Negro Business League, his base was the Tuskegee Institute, an historically black college in Tuskegee, Alabama. As lynchings in the South reached a peak in 1895, Washington gave a speech, known as the "Atlanta compromise", which brought him national fame. He called for black progress through education and entrepreneurship, rather than trying to challenge directly the Jim Crow segregation and the disenfranchisement of black voters in the South. Washington published five books during his lifetime with the aid of ghost-writers, the best known of which is Up from Slavery (1901) describing his personal experience of having to work to rise up from the position of a slave child during the Civil War, the obstacles he overcame to get an education, and his work establishing vocational schools to help black people and other disadvantaged minorities learn useful skills to pull themselves, as a race, up by the bootstraps. In The Man Farthest Down (1912), written in collaboration with Robert E Park, he offers the reader a Record of Observation and Study in Europe based on his tour of 1910 to investigate living and working conditions of the poorest and most discriminated against communities across Europe.

From a child slave put to hard labor to a college president and advisor to presidents, Booker T. Washington's autobiography powerfully describes his journey and what it taught him about the possible future of Blacks in the United States.
This autobiography is a cornerstone work of African-American literature. Washington tells of his experience in bondage as a child-slave, the hard labor he performed in salt mines post-slavery, and the role of his mother in demonstrating the strength and values that enabled him to continue to strive and rise above these often brutal circumstances. His hard-won education led him to become a teacher and build Tuskegee University with bare minimum resources, much of it literally one brick at a time. Despite these challenges, and encountering white opposition to the very concept of educating blacks, Washington believed that failing to make the university a reality would be a disservice to blacks nationwide. Inspiring throughout, the author advocates self-reliance through productive work, community service, and perseverance, and without bravado presents himself as a worthy example of how successful this path can be. His book still generates controversy as his conception of the rise of blacks through personal industry, leading gradually to their advancement in society, was deemed by some to be a slow and costly compromise. Others saw it as an example of pragmatic realism borne of necessity in the Reconstruction era South. Regardless of latter-day interpretations, Up From Slavery is a powerful document of how one man rose to prominence against terrible odds, then used his success and fame in a sustained attempt to better the lives of his fellows. This is an indispensable document of Black lives in an era scarcely more than 100 years in the past and its account of courage and dedication will not be forgotten.
With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Up From Slavery is both modern and readable.
A nice, unabridged edition of this classic with 28 photographs and illustrations. Includes his influential Atlanta Compromise speech.
Up from Slavery is the 1901 autobiography of American educator Booker T. Washington. The book describes his personal experience of having to work to rise up from the position of a slave child during the Civil War, to the difficulties and obstacles he overcame to get an education at the new Hampton Institute, to his work establishing vocational schools-most notably the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. His goal was to help black people and other disadvantaged minorities learn useful, marketable skills and work to pull themselves, as a race, up by the bootstraps. He reflects on the generosity of both teachers and philanthropists who helped in educating blacks and Native Americans. In 1998, the Modern Library listed the book at No. 3 on its list of the 100 best nonfiction books of the 20th century.
