Narrative of Sojourner Truth by Sojourner Truth

3.0

Besides the value of learning about the broad strokes of Sojourner Truth’s life, the narrative frame consists of a tedious moralizing interjection by the ghostwriter which is quite uninteresting. This narrative fails to capture much that is interesting about Truth’s life, with scant examples of the content of her preaching and lecturing, particularly as it relates to the antislavery movement. Instead, the brief glimpses focus on religious ideas.
