"I sat up most of the night reading and pondering the enormous significance of Harriet Wilson's Our Nig." Author Alice WalkerThis seminal autobiographical novel, originally published in 1859, is believed to have been the first by an AfricanAmerican woman. Harriet Wilson's compelling story describes the life of a mulatto girl who, after the death of her mother, is exploited first by a terrifying Northern family for whom she worked and then by an opportunistic husband.A classic of AfricanAmerican literature, Our Nig has made an enduring contribution to understanding the lives of free blacks in the nineteenth century. A fascinating combination of slave narrative and sentimental novel, the story traces the hardships and suffering of Frado, who grows up as an indentured servant to a white family in Massachusetts and spends much of her destitute life wandering through New England.A clear and accurate account of race relations and perceptions of race in the antebellum North, Our Nig is essential reading for students of AfricanAmerican history and culture.
