english: "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is not a great book of philosophy or of theology or perhaps not even literature, but it does a great job of getting people to put themselves in the shoes of people they wouldn't otherwise be in the shoes of, put themselves in the shoes of slaves.
non_english: Dat is geen groot filosofisch werk, geen theologie en wellicht  zelfs geen literatuur, maar wat het heel goed kan, is ons dwingen om ons  te verplaatsen in mensen in wiens schoenen we anders  nooit zouden staan, in de schoenen van slaven.
