The editors’ notes explain the significance of people, places, and events that Flipper identifies in shorthand; provide additional context and subtext to help readers better understand Flipper’s experiences; identify areas in which Flipper presented an ambiguous or incomplete narrative; and explore the literary qualities of the original memoir as an early work of African American autobiography.
