Mary Prince

    La autobiografía de Mary Prince, publicada en 1831, se erige como el primer relato de la vida de una mujer negra publicado en el Reino Unido. Esta narrativa de primera mano sobre las brutalidades de la esclavitud fue lanzada en un momento en que la esclavitud aún era legal en las colonias británicas del Caribe. Su publicación tuvo un efecto galvanizador en el movimiento antiesclavista, pasando por tres ediciones en su primer año. El poderoso testimonio de Prince ofreció una perspectiva crucial sobre la inhumanidad del sistema.
