Based on a true story and set during the French Revolution, this
novel tells the tale of a Senegalese girl saved from slavery and
raised by an aristocratic French family. When she overhears a
conversation about her race, she suddenly becomes aware of the
color of her skin and the prejudice it produces. Unhappy and
physically ill after her revelation, Ourika struggles to come to
terms with her African identity in the midst of upper-class wealth
and privilege. A bestseller ever since its publication in 1823,
this touching story addresses race, class, and the role of women in
society with earnest emotion and surprising psychological depth.
"Basada en hechos veridicos y con la Revolucion francesa de
trasfondo, esta novela narra la historia de una nina senegalesa que
fue rescatada de la esclavitud y criada por una familia francesa
acomodada. Cuando escucha una conversacion sobre su raza, toma
conciencia del color de su piel y del prejuicio que causa. Infeliz
y fisicamente enferma luego de esta revelacion, Ourika lucha por
aceptar su identidad africana a la vez que esta rodeada por las
riquezas y el privilegio de la clase alta. Un exito desde su
pubicacion en 1823, esta novela hace frente a las cuestiones de
raza, clase y el papel de las mujeres en la sociedad con un
sentimiento genuino y con una profundidad psicologica asombrosa."
