{"product_id":"our-nig","title":"Our Nig","description":"\"I sat up most of the night reading and pondering the enormous significance of Harriet Wilson's Our Nig.\" — Author Alice Walker This seminal autobiographical novel, originally published in 1859, is believed to have been the first by an African-American woman. Harriet Wilson's compelling story describes the life of a mulatto girl who, after the death of her mother, is exploited first by a terrifying Northern family for whom she worked and then by an opportunistic husband. A classic of African-American literature, Our Nig has made an enduring contribution to understanding the lives of free blacks in the nineteenth century. A fascinating combination of slave narrative and sentimental novel, the story traces the hardships and suffering of Frado, who grows up as an indentured servant to a white family in Massachusetts and spends much of her destitute life wandering through New England. A clear and accurate account of race relations and perceptions of race in the antebellum North, Our Nig is essential reading for students of African-American history and culture.","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"perpetual","offer_id":44458785800289,"sku":"9780486136912","price":2.75,"currency_code":"KWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/9869\/4241\/files\/480_5f3e5fe1-85a1-40c0-b787-0971106f6470.jpg?v=1778568350","url":"https:\/\/ebooks.aafaqeducation.com\/products\/our-nig","provider":"ebook.aafaqeducation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
