Uncle Tom in England or a Proof That Black’s White: An Echo to the American Uncle Tom (1852)

Uncle Tom in England, or A Proof That Black's White: An Echo to the American Uncle Tom is a novel written by Harriet Beecher Stowe in 1852. The book is a sequel to her famous novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin, and explores the experiences of Uncle Tom, the main character, after he is sold to a new owner and transported to England. In this sequel, Stowe uses Uncle Tom's experiences in England to highlight the similarities between the struggles of African Americans and those of the working-class in England. She also uses the book to challenge the prevalent racist attitudes of the time, arguing that the color of one's skin does not determine their worth as a human being. The novel is divided into two parts, with the first part following Uncle Tom's journey to England and his interactions with various characters, including abolitionists and members of the British aristocracy. The second part of the book focuses on the experiences of other African American characters, including a young girl who is sold into slavery and a man who fights for his freedom in court.Overall, Uncle Tom in England is a powerful work of literature that explores the themes of slavery, racism, and social justice in a compelling and thought-provoking way. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the abolitionist movement and the fight for civil rights in America and beyond.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
