Description
Lydia Maria Child's Freedmen's Book distinguishes itself from other tracts of the period. Child's tract is neither overtly Christian in nature nor does it speak in the singular voice of a white Northerner. Instead, her text offers a panorama of voices and perspectives. Hers is a collection of secular and religious literary genres, including biography, autobiography, prayer, fiction, and nonfiction. Additionally, her text includes both white and black authors such as Phyllis Wheatley, Frederick Douglass, George Horton, Harriet Jacobs, William Lloyd Garrison, and Child herself. These multiple voices and genres of instruction made for a tract that troubled conventional pedagogical practice and enabled submerged and defiant voices to emerge. The multi-vocal aspect of Child's text is the focus of my article. **********
