Kurzbeschreibung

"The product of painstaking research, Milton C. Sernett's book offers a comprehensive description and analysis of the processes by which the historical former slave woman became an iconic figure with shifting and contested significance for multiple audiences during her own long life and into the twenty-first century. In addition to presenting valuable facts for admirers and historians of Harriet Tubman, Milton C. Sernett uses her example to pose vital questions about the functions, varieties, and tenacity of heroic mythmaking in the lives of communities and nations."--Jean M. Humez, author of "Harriet Tubman: The Life and the Life Stories"
