This lecture will contextualize Harriet Beecher Stowe and the novel, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, within the debates between Martin Delany and Frederick Douglass. Both African American leaders publicly disagreed on the role of Stowe as an ally, Stowe’s literary depiction of enslaved African Americans, and Stowe as a credible spokesperson for slavery. Delany and Douglass each published open letters to one another expressing their views not only on the novel, but on what they each saw as distinct strategies regarding the fate of African Americans in antebellum America.
Dr. Tracey Hucks is professor of theology at Harvard University. Dr. Hucks has written extensively about the Afro-Caribbean roots of spiritualism. Her book, "Obeah, Orisa, and Religious Identity in Trinidad, vol. 1", explores the nuanced differences among Caribbean religious practices and how those practices have changed over time. The chapter “Obeah, Piety, and Poison in The Slave Son,” specifically looks at Black diasporic religious practices in the books "Uncle Tom’s Cabin", by Harriet Beecher Stowe, and "The Slave Son", by Marcella Wilkins.
