Beschreibung
Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl: The harrowing true story of Harriet A. Jacobs, born around 1815 in North Carolina. This powerful narrative exposes the repressive system of sexual exploitation in the slave states of the USA.This book sheds light on a widely ignored aspect of slavery in the USA: the systematic sexual exploitation of young girls who became the target of their ‘owners’, from puberty – or earlier. The casualness with which Harriet Jacobs reports this in her book speaks to how enormously common it was for ‘masters’ to father children with slaves. Since the children legally follow the ‘status of the mother’, these offspring were also slaves, whom the father and ‘owner’ could sell completely legally at any time. Or he kept a daughter and – years later – could also make her his lover. A cycle of horror legitimized by law. In this time and place, these are not crimes, not scandals, not even something shocking. No, it is sheer normality, the banality of evil.Harriet A. Jacobs was born into slavery around 1815, in Edenton, North Carolina. At the age of about twelve, following the death of her first mistress, she was transferred to the ownership of Dr. James Norcom, who soon began to sexually abuse her. This groundbreaking book was one of the first to expose the brutal realities of slavery from a woman’s perspective and is now regarded as a seminal American classic.
