Libro Usado, Tapa Blanda. The Book of Negroes follows the epic life journey of Aminata Diallo, an eleven-year-old girl abducted from her West African village and sold into slavery in South Carolina. Over the course of six decades, she navigates the horrors of the transatlantic slave trade, escapes to freedom in Manhattan during the American Revolutionary War, and helps register other freed slaves in a historic British ledger known as the "Book of Negroes." Her relentless fight for survival takes her from the Americas to Nova Scotia and back to Africa, before finally leading the abolitionist movement in London.
