Book of Negroes

Abducted from her West African village at the age of eleven and sold as a slave in the American South, Aminata Diallo thinks only of freedom. After escaping the plantation, torn from her husband and child, she passes through Manhattan in the chaos of the Revolutionary War, is shipped to Nova Scotia, and then joins a group of freed slaves.

Rapita din satul ei din Africa de Vest la varsta de unsprezece ani si vanduta ca sclava in sudul Americii, Aminata Diallo se gandeste doar la libertate. Dupa ce a scapat din plantatie, smulsa de sotul si copilul ei, trece prin Manhattan in haosul Razboiului Revolutionar, este trimisa in Nova Scotia si apoi se alatura unui grup de sclavi eliberati.
