Acerca de esta escucha

Born into slavery in 1818, Frederick Douglass rose to become one of the nation's foremost intellectuals - a statesman, author, lecturer, and scholar who helped lead the fight against slavery and racial oppression. Unlike other leading abolitionists, however, Douglass embraced the US Constitution, insisting that it was an essentially anti-slavery document and that its guarantees for individual rights belonged to all Americans, of whatever race.

Douglass spoke in his most popular lecture, "Self-Made Men", of people who rise through their own effort and devotion rather than circumstances of privilege. "If they have traveled far, they have made the road on which they have travelled. If they have ascended high, they have built their own ladder."

In this fast-paced biography, lawyer and author Timothy Sandefur examines the life and ideas of the nation's foremost "self-made man" - from his horrific experiences in slavery and his heroic escape to his eloquent demands for equal treatment by the federal government and his later career as statesman and intellectual. Throughout it all Douglass was guided by his belief in the sanctity of the individual.

"There is no Negro problem", Douglass insisted. "The problem is whether the American people have honesty enough, loyalty enough, honor enough, patriotism enough, to live up to their own Constitution." Led by his dream of an America where all people would be free to make the most of themselves without hindrance, Douglass ultimately transformed the United States.

As the nation pauses to remember Douglass on his bicentennial, Frederick Douglass: Self-Made Man gives us an insightful glimpse into the mind of one of America's greatest thinkers.

This is the first book by Sandefur I’ve read and I look forward to reading his other books. It’s not only a biography of a great, self-made scholar and intellectual, it’s also a sobering history lesson. It is beautifully written and a must-read for students of history and any lover of liberty.

Great Biography and History

Full disclosure, I went to high school with Tim, so I am a tad biased about how wonderfully intelligent and thoughtful this book is … having said that, I have a BA and MA in English and this book flows so beautifully through its prose. Tim writes with such clarity and showcases Douglass’ sharp mind. A must read.

Fantastic

Where does Frederick Douglass: Self-Made Man rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Excellent and insightful biography of Douglass. Frederick Douglass was such an important figure in the difficult history of race relations in our country. Sandefur connects Douglass' life and writings to the struggle for equality, especially within the context and interpretations of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. In addition, Douglass' point-of-view on realizing racial equality is analyzed and compared to historical and current thinking. Sandefur is very clear and excellent reader.
