Freedom Papers: An Atlantic Odyssey in the Age of Emancipation
Rebecca J. Scott
This saga opens with the enslavement of a woman from Senegambia, and then traces her family s quest, across five generations, for lives of dignity and equality. The story of Rosalie and her descendants unfolds against the background of three great antiracist struggles: the Haitian Revolution, the French Revolution of 1848, and the U. S. Civil War."
