Truth's tale sheds a light on realities of slavery that are still rarely discussed: that she was a slave in upstate New York, not on a Southern plantation; that Dutch was her first language; that the circumstances of her slavery isolated her from a broader Black community; that her experience of religion was a racially integrated one, and became the means of her independence. Ultimately, \u003ci\u003eThe Narrative of Sojourner Truth\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of a great American that reveals aspects of slavery and free Black life that are too often overlooked.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51362590359775,"sku":"9780593242643","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/STj33JcG6V9780593242643.webp?v=1789023123","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/narrative-of-sojourner-truth-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
