Publisher's Synopsis
"Adelaide Zaire, of Guadaloupe, an Emancipated Negress" recounts the remarkable life of Adelaide Zaire, a woman who transcended the bonds of slavery to achieve freedom and recognition. This biographical narrative, originally published in the 19th century, provides a unique window into the experiences of formerly enslaved people in the Caribbean and their struggles for self-determination.
The book offers insights into the social, political, and cultural landscape of Guadeloupe during the era of slavery and emancipation. Zaire's story is a testament to the resilience and strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity, making it a valuable historical document for understanding the complexities of slavery and its aftermath.
This edition makes Zaire's powerful story accessible to contemporary readers interested in African American history, women's history, and the broader history of slavery and emancipation in the Atlantic world. Her story provides a vital perspective on the human dimensions of historical events.
