Introduction by Robert Reid-Pharr
In this truly astonishing eighteenth-century memoir, Olaudah
Equiano recounts his remarkable life story, which begins when he is
kidnapped in Africa as a boy and sold into slavery and culminates
when he has achieved renown as a British antislavery advocate. The
narrative "is a strikingly beautiful monument to the startling
combination of skill, cunning, and plain good luck that allowed him
to win his freedom, write his story, and gain international
prominence," writes Robert Reid-Pharr in his Introduction. "He
alerts us to the very concerns that trouble modern intellectuals,
black, white, and otherwise, on both sides of the Atlantic."
The text of this Modern Library Paperback Classic is set from the
definitive ninth edition of 1794, reflecting the author's final
changes to his masterwork.
