"This volume offers a compelling account of Tubman's work, alongside other antislavery activists, to liberate enslaved women, men and children from bondage and lay the foundation for free black communities in the northern states and Canada. The accompanying documents, photographs and illustrations add another level of detail and insight that will engage students and facilitate both discussion and writing assignments." — Barbara Krauthamer, University of Massachusetts Amherst "This is an important volume. Weighing history and memory, fact and myth, the overlapping constraints of race, gender, and illiteracy on Harriet Tubman, this volume make the opportunities and challenges of studying the lives of fugitive slaves accessible to undergraduates." — Adam Arenson, University of Texas at El Paso "The Introduction is excellent — thought-provoking and energetically presented. It does a wonderful job of contextualizing Tubman's life and times." — Calvin Schermerhorn, Arizona State University
