Description and Table of Contents
Description
An introduction to the tradition of Black British writing, this book presents extracts from major Afro-British writiers and many early Black American, West African and Carribean writers who spent time in Britain. Each entry provides an introduction to the extract, the author and the period in which he or she was writing. A general introduction discusses the beginnings of Black literature in Britain during the period of abolition. Extracts range from the earliest writings of Equiano, Cugoano, Sancho, Gronniosaw and Wedderburn, to the work of British residents James Africanus Horton, Mary Prince, Mary Seacole, Harriet Jacobs, Edward Wilmot Blyden and John E. Ocansey. Autobiography, slave narrative, letters and speeches are included.
