here has never been any race that has suffered the injustice that Africans have suffered and continue to suffer at the hands of Europeans. African lives were uprooted from their natural environments and forced into unspeakable cruelty in Europe and the Americas. Since then according to Chinua Achebe: “Things Fall Apart.” Wilson's autobiographical novel Our Nig was published in 1859. Our Nig illustrates the injustice of the indentured servitude system of the antebellum northern United States. Harriet E. Wilson (March 15, 1825 - June 28, 1900) is traditionally considered the first female African-American novelist as well as the first African American of any gender to publish a novel in North America.
