About the book

In «The History of Fugitive Slaves (1619-1865),» Marion Gleason McDougall meticulously chronicles the harrowing experiences and the significant narratives of enslaved individuals who dared to escape their bondage in America. Delving into a rich spectrum of primary sources, McDougall employs a blend of historical analysis and narrative storytelling to illuminate the multifaceted lives of fugitive slaves, offering a comprehensive examination of their quests for freedom. The text situates itself within the broader literary contexts of abolitionist literature and slave narratives, illustrating the intersections of personal agency and systemic oppression that characterized this tumultuous period in American history. Marion Gleason McDougall, a distinguished historian and advocate for social justice, has devoted significant portions of her career to exploring the complexities of slavery and its aftermath in the United States. Her extensive research is deeply rooted in a commitment to amplifying marginalized voices and understanding the socio-political frameworks that have perpetuated inequality. These motivations inform her passionate portrayal of fugitive slaves as agents within their own stories, encouraging readers to confront the legacy of slavery. This essential volume is highly recommended for scholars, students, and general readers alike, offering a profound understanding of the struggle for freedom that shaped American identity. McDougall's erudite yet accessible writing invites readers to engage critically with history and to appreciate the resilience and courage of those who sought to escape oppression, making it a vital addition to the discourse on American slavery.
