| The Book of Negroes (novel by Lawrence Hill) |
 |
Hill’s excellent novel is known in the United States as
Someone Knows My Name.
The tragedy of slavery in North America has been chronicled and discussed in many forms – literature, poetry, film, and documentary. Hill’s excellent novel adds new dimensions through an intimate look at a fictional survivor of the British slave trade. Through Aminata’s eyes, Hill explores the depth and breadth of the slave industry, including the little known links to Canada and to Freetown, Sierra Leone.
Hill covers a tremendous amount of historical ground and presents his findings in a clear, comprehensive and intelligent manner. The story is extraordinary and the characters are captivating.
The Bookclub-in-a-Box Novel Notes discussion guide for The Book of Negroes gives insight into this terrible time of human irresponsibility and immorality. The challenge is to consider how this old story applies to the story of our current world.
