Post-holiday wishlist book gorge.
As an old woman, Aminata Diallo writes an account of her life. Abducted from her people when she was 11, she was sold into the slave trade. Now as a guest of Abolitionists in London, her story of crossing the ocean, working on a plantation, and struggling for freedom and to return to find her home in Africa finds an eager audience.
Released as "Someone Knows My Name" in the US market, as if Americans aren't the ones who made certain words offensive. Criminy.
