Iola Leroy: Or Shadows Uplifted is a novel written by Frances E. W. Harper. The book tells the story of a young woman named Iola Leroy, who is the daughter of a wealthy white father and a black mother. Despite being raised in a privileged environment, Iola struggles to find her place in a society that is deeply divided by race.As Iola grows up, she becomes increasingly aware of the injustices faced by black people in America. She becomes involved in the abolitionist movement, and eventually joins the Union army during the Civil War. Along the way, she meets a number of other black activists and intellectuals, and becomes involved in various political and social causes.Throughout the book, Harper explores themes of race, identity, and social justice. She also examines the relationships between black and white people, and the ways in which these relationships are shaped by power dynamics and historical injustices.Overall, Iola Leroy: Or Shadows Uplifted is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that offers a unique perspective on the experiences of black people in America during the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
