Chinese Teaching Guide to Harriet Jacobs

Project publishes a new cross-cultural teaching guide to Harriet Jacobs.

The Project has published a cross-cultural teaching guide to Harriet Jacobs' Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl.  The guide was written by Joe Lockard and Shih Penglu.  This guide accompanies a translation of the Jacobs narrative that awaits publication.  US literature in Chinese translation tends to be very canonical and focuses on a limited number of African American voices.  The Project's translation work will introduce Chinese readers and students to the historical richness of African American literature.
