I've had years of experience as a classroom teacher on the high school level and on the college level as a professor of educational psychology. This book is the summation of much that I've learned along that path.

Note that this is a chapbook, so even though it's beautifully printed it still has something of a flimsy feeling... It's perfectly sized and shaped to be a little gift to the favorite creative or artistic person in your life.
The real standouts in the collection, "For the Twentieth Century," "Advice to the Players," and "Lament for the Makers," are all available online, albeit coarsened by lousy layout and banner ads. Don't just read them quickly at your desk; print them out and read them somewhere peaceful in solitude, and you will probably end up wanting to buy the book anyway, they're that good.

The overcoming of adversity, the indictment of slavery, the dispelling of the Gone-With-The-Wind myth and fantasy of slavery, the revealment of the horror and suffering, the hand-over-hand determination of self-respect and manhood, the thrilling escape to freedom -- the book is stunning. Yet, refreshingly, the book has none of the self-promoting egocentric attitude of some autobiographies, the book is just stunningly well and plainly written in content. Also of interest are the 2 prefaces.
I heard the audio book version of this, and it was well-spoken by the narrator.
Highly recommended.
