As a first-hand account of the horrors of slavery, it was a vital part of the campaign to end that \"accursed trade,\" but the book is far more than merely a political pamphlet. It is the most important African autobiography of the eighteenth century, telling the story of a life of high adventure on land and sea, from the Caribbean to the North Pole via America, Turkey, and Great Britain, in a style that remains lively and engaging to this day. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis new edition includes an introduction surveying the recent debates about Equiano's birthplace and identity, and showing how the book achieved its increasingly central position among the great works of eighteenth-century literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrycchan Carey\u003c\/strong\u003e is an expert in the cultural history of slavery and its abolition.
