The History of Mary Prince A West Indian Slave Narrative

Mary Prince2004
The first black woman to escape from slavery in the British colonies and publish a record of her experiences, Mary Prince vividly recalls her life in the West Indies, her rebellion against physical and psychological degradation, and her eventual escape in 1828 in England. A straightforward, often poetic account of personal anguish and struggle for freedom, this classic narrative of determination and endurance is essential reading for students of African-American studies.
