First published in 1787, this bold work by Ottobah Cugoano, an emancipated slave living in England, was one of the first writings by an African Briton about slavery. It refutes pro-slavery arguments, calls for immediate abolition and asserts the moral duty of slaves to rebel against their oppressors.
