Booker T. Washington\u2019s famous 1901 memoir, Up From Slavery, charts Washington\u2019s rise from an enslaved child with a passion for learning to the nation\u2019s most prominent Black educator and first president of Tuskegee University. A tireless advocate for Black economic independence, Washington attempted to balance his public acceptance of segregation with behind-the-scenes lobbying against voter disenfranchisement and financing anti\u2013Jim Crow court cases. His memoir is both a crucial American document and an exercise in understanding the \u201Cdouble consciousness\u201D coined by W.E.B. DuBois, himself one of Washington\u2019s most vocal critics.\n\nUp from Slavery\nAn Autobiography\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services.\n\nPlease note: the price advertised is as low as we can go \u2014 we do not accept or respond to offers.
