Summary: This book is a gift from a great man who lived 200 years ago
Comment: An amazing story of a young man kidnapped from his African village as a boy, transported to the Caribbean from island to island and his dealings with the people who were in power. How he gained his freedom, then lost it, then gained it again. His struggle to reconcile what the Bible taught about kindness with what he saw the "Christians" actually doing to slaves. This book is essential reading for anyone living in the Caribbean who wants to understand the mental slavery that still exists there to this day. Its THE guide to "self-help" that beats all others. Its the story of a wonderfully determined man.

Summary: How Equiano taught himself to learn
Comment: It was because of race that the adventures of Equiano had begun. White slave traders had stolen Equiano from his family and homeland. He was then sold into slavery. In his narrative, The Interesting Narrative and Other Writings, he writes about the races he had encountered and leaves the reader to interpret how he perceived them.
What is more important, he is able to show how, throughout his life, he learns to understand and analyze different races and cultures. From his days as a slave, to his religious interests, to his promoting an end to slavery, Equiano learned from his racial and cultural encounters. He learned about different races and how to interpret the differences.
