Equiano's Travels by Paul Edwards
This is a wonderful narrative telling of Equiano's early life in Ibo country, his days as a slave in Southern America and of his later travels. 'Equiano's book continues to be relevant well after two centuries not only because it is was competently organised and well written but also because it has behind it a strong personality whose presence is felt on every page.' Professor Ogude.Olaudah Equiano, also known as Gustavus Vassa, was a writer and abolitionist from the Eboe region of the Kingdom of Benin, according to his memoir. He was enslaved as a child and sold as a slave to a Royal Navy commander in the Caribbean. He was sold two more times until buying his freedom in 1766.
