Mary Prince Ordine dei libri (cronologico)

    L'autobiografia di Mary Prince, pubblicata nel 1831, si afferma come il primo resoconto della vita di una donna nera pubblicato nel Regno Unito. Questa narrazione diretta delle brutalità della schiavitù fu rilasciata in un momento in cui la schiavitù era ancora legale nelle colonie britanniche dei Caraibi. La sua pubblicazione ebbe un effetto galvanizzante sul movimento abolizionista, passando attraverso tre ristampe nel suo primo anno. La potente testimonianza di Prince offrì una prospettiva cruciale sull'inumanità del sistema.
