Summary

La capanna dello zio Tom (titolo originale Uncle Tom's Cabin or Life Among the Lowly) è un romanzo abolizionista scritto dalla statunitense Harriet Beecher Stowe. Fu pubblicato nel 1852 in seguito alla promulgazione nel 1850 della legge sugli schiavi fuggitivi, che decretava che gli schiavi fuggiti da Stati schiavisti in Stati liberi dovessero essere arrestati e poi restituiti ai proprietari nello Stato di origine. Questo libro riporta così come furono scritti gli insulti razziali e di altro genere della sua epoca; la Guida al libro spiega queste parole dove compaiono.
