Our Nig is a classic of African American Literature that has proven to be an enduring contribution to our understanding of free blacks in the nineteen ... th century. Originally published in 1859, it was neglected for over a hundred years and is now the subject of renewed scholarly interest. A fascinating fusion of two literary modes of the nineteenth century--the sentimental novel and the slave narrative--Our Nig traces the trials and tribulations of Frado, a mulatto girl who grows up as an indentured servant to a white Massachusetts family. And now, as new scholarship sheds light on the author's life, our appreciation for Our Nig is enhanced. With a new afterword by Barbara A. White.
