Produktbeschreibung

Born in Ghana, Quobna Ottobah Cugoano was kidnapped at the age of thirteen and sold into slavery by his fellow Africans in 1770. Exploiting his dual identity as an African and a British citizen, the author asserted that those under slavery's yoke had a moral obligation to rebel, while at the same time he appealed to white England's better self.
