Description
The History of Mary Prince is a powerful and moving account of survival and emancipation. Written by Mary Prince, a former slave, the book describes her experiences as a slave in the Caribbean and her eventual arrival in London in 1828. With brutal honesty, Prince recounts her struggles and the events that led to her escape from slavery. This remarkable narrative, first published in 1831, sheds light on the continuation of slavery in the Caribbean despite the 1807 Act of Parliament.
