Book Description
"I sat up most of the night reading and pondering the enormous significance of Harriet Wilson's Our Nig."--Author Alice Walker
Seminal autobiographical novel, believed to have been the first published by an African-American woman, describes the life of a young mulatto girl named Frado, who, after the death of her mother, is exploited first by a terrifying Northern family for whom she worked and then by an opportunistic husband. A clear and accurate account of race relations and perceptions of race in the antebellum North.
