Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-This book contains a historical context, where past events or the study and narration of these events are examined. The historical context refers to the circumstances and incidents surrounding an event. This context is formed by everything that, in some way, influences the event when it happens. A fact is always tied to its time: that is, to its time. Therefore, when analyzing events that took place tens, hundreds or thousands of years ago, it is essential to know the historical context to understand them. Otherwise, we would be analyzing and judging what happened in a totally different era with a current perspective. Up from Slavery is the 1901 autobiography of the American educator Booker T. Washington (1856-1915). The book describes his personal experience of having to work to ascend from the position of a slave child during the Civil War, to the difficulties and obstacles he overcame in obtaining an education at the new Hampton Institute, to his work establishing vocational schools, most notably the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama - To help black people and other disadvantaged minorities learn useful and marketable skills and work to get ahead, like a race, over boots.
