Rezensionen
"One of the greatest writers of our time." Toni Morrison
"That Zora Neale Hurston should find and befriend Cudjo Lewis, the last living man with firsthand memory of capture in Africa and captivity in Alabama, is nothing shy of a miracle. Barracoon is a testament to the enormous losses millions of men, women and children endured in both slavery and freedom-a story of urgent relevance to every American, everywhere." Tracy K. Smith, Pulitzer Prize winning author of Life on Mars and Wade in the Water

"Zora Neale Hurston's genius has once again produced a Maestrapiece." Alice Walker, Pulitzer Prize winning author of The Color Purple

"Barracoon is a powerful, breathtakingly beautiful, and at times, heart wrenching, account of one man's story, eloquently told in his own language. Zora Neale Hurston gives Kossola control of his narrative- a gift of freedom and humanity. It completely reinforces for me the fact that Zora Neale Hurston was both a cultural anthropologist and a truly gifted, and compassionate storyteller, who sat in the sometimes painful silence with Kossola and the depth and breadth of memory as a slave. Such is a narrative filled with emotions and histories bursting at the intricately woven seams." Nicole Dennis-Benn, author of Here Comes the Sun

"A searing reminder of how recently American slavery ended, and the depth of the pain it caused." The Economist

"A deeply affecting record of an extraordinary life." Daily Telegraph

"Barracoon and its long path to print is a testament to Zora's singular vision amid so many competing pressures that continue to put us at war with ourselves." Huffington Post
