White Slave

White Slave

By Cathy Thompson

Genre:-Historical Fiction

Pages:-148

Publisher:-Abibiman Publishing

Blurb:-A former slave tells of an escapade involving him leading out a group of slaves from their former master, confronting the reality of racism in New Orleans in the 1800s, some years before the abolition.

 But did this in fact happen? Or could his retelling of the escape he led be what remains of the trauma of having been a slave himself?

 It is a story of revenge and cowardice, of hypocrisy and community, of deep-rooted violence and the effect that leaves on the mind, but also a story about how the imagination serves as a place to hide away from that violence.

My Review:-A story told by a former slave in New Orleans in the 1800s. The story tells how a man, a former slave of the Igbo tribe lead his wife and other slaves from the plantation they worked to a place that he had been told would be safer for them all. This was before the Abolition of Slavery Act. A story of violence, racism, revenge, starvation and how brutal things were back then. This is a short read but one that is hard and raw read, filled with emotions. A story that needs to be told and one that will stay with me.
