In powerful prose, Natasha Gordon-Chipembere delivers a vivid and intimate living portrait of slavery in this nation, which was radically different from plantation bondage in other parts of the Americas.

Immensely captivating, and hauntingly beautiful, this novel is sure to establish Natasha Gordon-Chipembere’s book as a major contribution to literature and historical consciousness.” —Molefi Kete Asante, author of the novel Scattered to the Wind“Amazing! This is a major contribution to understanding global Blackness experiences. Finding La Negrita is a gem with beautiful passages.” —Frieda Ekotto, Professor of Afroamerican and African Studies at the University of Michigan, Ann ArborPlease purchase the books separately via Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or <a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2FBookshop.org%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR1PBUtbgCfSTWQoD3YKKKY3ey3j39z-vVA_PBLmcdfE328kuD9ZDNz9zaE&amp;h=AT0ji27aaSi0G-ZaCeyRqDglFgJwZD4Xugh0oXWhVRib9WBeP3R0jz-Ph8YG0gJGE8uQeHsMUvpe09zz5U0_q5srWzTZnLQKHVsjUIg6tYebw0Yp6pZaJNUwpPovWVEvBw&amp;__tn__=q&amp;c[0]=AT1-cOFLH2xOKQ-bxt4o0kDXzC7_pGjbxSwS5bpN2KEFZm68EmLqKm5CL5sI1YrI-REP5znMS5CTtWC9E1eV6DvSyC1Z7LV-y9EMhbrximDMmPUr7BxSWnj1SMxF2LQbo4k1YKHS1dcyulGPRwctRMxRxGAD" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Bookshop.org.</a>
