People of Color. From 1861, come these recollections of a slave who works on a plantation in North Carolina. Her owner beats her, throws her down stairs, and rapes her at every chance. Jacobs's tale of escape makes for an enlightening odyssey. The sophistication of the narrative has led some to speculate the author was a "white writer." This transition from page to audio emphasizes the implausibility of the provenance. Narrator Elizabeth Klett employs no Southern accent and makes only two brief attempts to imitate the vocabulary or speech patterns of antebellum blacks. Klett uses a soft voice to portray the main character, as well as a young mother who interacts with her children, and changes to a gruff voice to depict the cruel master. Between chapters we hear scratchy recordings of sorrowful songs like "Old Black Joe." J.A.H. (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine. AudioFile Magazine. HTML:<p>Harriet Jacobs' autobiography, written under the pseudonym Linda Brent, details her experiences as a slave in North Carolina, her escape to freedom in the north, and her ensuing struggles to free her children. The narrative was partly serialized in the New York Tribune, but was discontinued because Jacobs' depictions of the sexual abuse of female slaves were considered too shocking. It was published in book form in 1861.</p>. Biography & Autobiography. Nonfiction. Media Type: Audiobook. Importer Version: 2014-01-08.01 Import Date: 2015-08-05 20:00:03. Klett, Elizabeth.
