Хижина дяди Тома - роман Гарриет Бичер-Стоу, направленный против рабовладения в Америке. Роман произвёл большой общественный резонанс; по некоторым оценкам, настолько обострил один из местных конфликтов на почве рабства, что он вылился в Гражданскую войну в США (1861-1865 гг).

Onkel Tom, ein alter schwarzer Sklave aus Kentucky, erlebt zunächst nur glückliche Tage bei seinem neuen Herrn Augustin St. Clare und seiner Tochter Evangeline. Aber dann lernt er plötzlich auf einer Baumwollplantage in Louisiana den ganzen Schrecken seines ärmlichen Sklavendaseins kennen.

Harriet Beecher-Stowe schildert in ihrem Roman zwei dramatische Schicksale in den USA des 19. Jahrhunderts. Die Sklavin Eliza flieht mit ihrem Sohn Harry, der verkauft und damit von seiner Mutter getrennt werden sollte, nach Norden und trifft dort hilfsbereite Sklavengegner. Parallel dazu erleben wir den Leidensweg von Onkel Tom, der nach dem Verkauf an einen Sklavenhändler immer weiter in die amerikanischen Südstaaten vordringt und dabei das Elend der Sklaverei aus nächster Nähe und am eigenen Leib erfahren muss.

Eigentlich haben es Tom und seine Familie ja besser getroffen als viele andere Sklaven, werden sie doch von ihrem Herrn verhältnismäßig gut behandelt. Doch eines Tages wird Tom von seiner Familie getrennt und zusammen mit dem Sohn der Haussklavin an einen skrupellosen Sklavenhändler verkauft. Während es der Haussklavin und ihrem Sohn gelingt, in den sklavenfreien Norden zu fliehen, muss Tom auf dem Schiff weiter den Mississippi in den tiefen Süden hinabfahren.
