Publisher Description
Booker T. Washington’s 1901 autobiography can be read as a redemption story echoing many similar voices of its time. Starting from the humiliation he experienced as a slave, he ponders the meaning of identity in a situation that seeks to dehumanize. He furthers his story by expanding on his difficulties in obtaining an education and the need for change in our minds as well as societal structures.
Customer Reviews
Clear but Stilted Delivery
This Audio is very clear and very distinct, but it is delivered very rigidly, with little to no emotion or inflection. I briefly wondered if it wasn’t an AI delivery. I have heard some that are not professionally done that sound much better and will keep the listener/reader engaged more effectively. I actually bought this one for my classroom as I teach this book each year to my Sophomores. This is not the audiobook you want for this kind of usage, however. I heard nothing but complaints about the vocal style.
