Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. takes on the project of refuting James Baldwin's 1955 critique of Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin as worthless and dehumanizing. Gates and co-editor Hollis Robbins explain the novel's enduring significance as a work of abolitionist fiction through commentary on the text, its sources, its reception, and its cultural impact, enriched by illustrations, maps, appendices, and a chronology of Stowe's life and works.
