Description
The autobiography of Olaudah Equiano, a prominent African in late 18th-century Britain, is quoted, anthologized and interpreted in dozens of books and articles. More than any single contemporary, Equiano speaks for the fate of millions of Africans in the era of the transatlantic slave trade. This study attempts to create a rounded portrait of the man behind the literary image, and to study Equiano in the context of Atlantic slavery.

"Walvin writes in a wonderfully easy style. The book grabs your attention, not only because of the intrinsic interest of Equiano's life, but because of all that Walvin tells us of the context." - Marika Sherwood, Black and Asian Studies Association
