About

An African boy was a slave on his way to England in 1772, just in time for that country’s abolishment of slavery. Quobna Ottobah Cugoano won his freedom. But the young Afro-Briton did not choose to stop with his own emancipation - Cugoano wrote powerfully and intelligently of the amorality and unethical practice of enslavement, corresponding with the likes of William Pitt and Edmund Burke. Scholar Vincent Carretta has carefully published his writings, Thoughts and Sentiments on the Evil of Slavery, in this Penguin Classics edition, complete with notes.
