Mary Prince

    L'autobiographie de Mary Prince, publiée en 1831, constitue le premier récit de la vie d'une femme noire à être publié au Royaume-Uni. Ce récit de première main sur les brutalités de l'esclavage a été publié à une époque où l'esclavage était encore légal dans les colonies britanniques des Caraïbes. Sa publication a eu un effet galvanisant sur le mouvement abolitionniste, connaissant trois réimpressions la première année. Le puissant témoignage de Prince a offert une perspective cruciale sur l'inhumanité du système.
