OLAUDAH EQUIANO a proud son of Igbo land narrates his ordeal from captivity to freedom. Skillfully written, with a wealth of engrossing detail, this powerful narrative illustrates the nature of the black experience in slavery and the inhumanity millions of Africans suffered in the hands of Europeans and Arabs alike. O. Equiano’s account should provide a cautionary tale to those who insist on making their own account of suffering more inhuman than those of the Africans who suffered the worst inhumanity man could visit on another man.
