Redefining Uncle Tom's Cabin with a seminal interpretation of the great American novel, this book demonstrates the literary transcendence of Harriet Beecher Stowe's masterpiece. It provides insights into emerging race-relation, women's, gay and gender issues.

This book charts the paths from slavery to freedom of fugitives who escape the chains of American chattel slavery and of a martyr who transcends all earthly ties, and locates the issues of race and the role of women.
