The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano: Written by Himself
by Olaudah Equiano, Robert J. Allison
by Olaudah Equiano, Robert J. Allison
This was a very interesting book. It is the only narrative I have read written by an actual slave. His story is probably atypical, but it is fascinating.
I found his descriptions of culture shock to be particularly interesting - and they got me thinking. I could not imagine having zero knowledge of another culture and then being thrust into it at the bottom of society. It's sad and amazing at the same time.
I recommend it highly. You can find it online too!
