Uncle Tom
Who Kidnapped Uncle Tom and Why it Matters delves deeply into Harriet Beecher Stowe's 1852 international bestseller Uncle Tom's Cabin to explore the historical controversy of the main character, Uncle Tom. Through nearly a decade of extensive research, author Dallas C. Terrell, meticulously pulls back the curtain to reveal the fascinating history of the Who, What, and Why involved in the "Kidnapping" of Uncle Tom, from the author Stowe's original portrayal of him as a Christ-like figure to the confusing insulting persona he is often presented as today.
Shedding light upon the social-political significance of this modern day "Uncle Tom" - who it serves, and why it persists in this negative form, readers are shown this intriguing historical background in a new light. How did this misunderstanding about Stowe's character come about? Presented are simple common sense practices that if implemented, may result in meaningful and respectful life-changing dialogues today.
