Description: "A fascinating fusion of two literary modes of the 19th century, the sentimental novel and the slave narrative, Our nig, apart from its historical significance, is a deeply ironic and highly readable work, tracing the trials and tribulations of Frado, a mulatto girl abandoned by her white mother after the death of the child's black father, who grows up as an indentured servant to a white family in 19th century Massachusetts."--Cover
