Truth's tale sheds a light on realities of slavery that are still rarely discussed: that she was a slave in upstate New York, not on a Southern plantation; that Dutch was her first language; that the circumstances of her slavery isolated her from a broader Black community; that her experience of religion was a racially integrated one, and became the means of her independence. Ultimately, \u003ci\u003eThe Narrative of Sojourner Truth\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of a great American that reveals aspects of slavery and free Black life that are too often overlooked.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Modern Library\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/25\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593242643\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272","brand":"Sojourner Truth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52750041907381,"sku":"9780593242643","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/narrative-of-sojourner-truth-9780593242643","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
