  Explores the issue of slavery from an African American perspective. This book presents conflicting beliefs about race, the institution of slavery, and the possibilities of violent resistance. It probes the political and spiritual goals that fuel Dred's rebellion, and creates a figure far different from the acquiescent Christian martyr Uncle Tom.

  Stowe's second anti-slavery novel is a primary text for students of literature and history - less well-known but now more pertinent than Uncle Tom's Cabin. This vigorous and compulsive read combines thought-provoking themes, rich characterisation, satire and sentiment.
