The Book of Negroes

This is the first time that I've watched the Book of Negroes in class. This book , written by Lawrence Hill, is a historically based, fictional account of a women, Aminata Diallo, an African who is captured from her village off of the coasts of Africa and lives the horrific adventures of the slave experience in the new world. Lawrence's story demonstrates the evils of slave trade as well as the evils of the players involved. Although I have usually watched the 70's mini-series ROOTS, this was a different take on the same theme, a little more current and modern in its production. 

I'm not sure I liked in any better.
