Synopsis

Frederick Douglass's "Autobiographical Works" presents a compelling and transformative account of his journey from slavery to freedom, encapsulating the profound struggles against oppression. Douglass employs a potent literary style that fuses eloquent rhetoric with vivid imagery, inviting readers to witness the brutal realities of antebellum America. His works, including "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave" and "My Bondage and My Freedom," are not only autobiographical accounts but also foundational texts in American literature and social reform. Douglass's narrative style, which intertwines personal anecdotes with broader social critique, reflects the burgeoning genre of the slave narrative, situating him as a leading voice in the abolitionist movement and advocating for human rights. Frederick Douglass, born into slavery in 1818, emerged as a prominent abolitionist, orator, and writer. His experiences as a runaway slave informed his commitment to articulate the injustices faced by African Americans. Educated through sheer determination, Douglass's profound insights into the human condition and his mastery of language enabled him to challenge the status quo effectively. His life story serves as a testament to resilience and the pursuit of knowledge, making his writings resonate with urgency and significance. "Autobiographical Works" is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the intricacies of American history and the ongoing struggle for civil rights. Douglass's narrative not only enlightens readers about the horrors of slavery but also inspires a profound appreciation for the moral courage required to confront systemic injustice. This work is a catalyst for dialogue and reflection, making it indispensable for scholars, students, and anyone engaged with social justice.

Motion Dazzle - A Memoir of...

Jocelyn Jane Cox

Former competitive figure skater and coach Jocelyn Jane Cox is desperate to care for her toddler and her ailing mother, all while preparing to host a fabulous zebra-themed first birthday party at her house. As a new parent whose supportive mom is slipping away with dementia, she finds herself spinning in the middle of the so-called "sandwich generation." 
Cox draws on the strengths she learned while competing with her older brother as her partner. On the ice, she battled injuries and uncertainties while trying to dazzle audiences, discovering along the way that we can love and hate an activity in equal measure, and that "faking it 'til you make it" can be a viable way forward. As an adult, Jocelyn leans into performance and distraction as coping strategies while demonstrating a capability we all have: to find moments of celebration alongside pain. 
Splicing her own early motherhood with memories of her single mother's TLC, Cox's choreography takes readers around the rink of a high stakes sport and into the stands...where her mother, a bit of a mystery, sits quietly amid the ovation. Motion Dazzle shines a spotlight on the life cycle and how we pass love from one generation to the next.
