Description
First published in 1789, Equiano's narrative is the most significant autobiographical account of slavery to emerge from Britain's centuries as a slave trading and slave owning power. It tells the story of Equiano's remarkable life, recounting his years of slavery, working on ships that carried him across the empire and into battle during the Seven Years War, and the extraordinary story of how he was able to purchase his own freedom. In this new edition, historian David Olusoga sets the book in its historical context helping us to understand this complex, spiritual, and politically astute man.
