but often, surely, also a tale of courage and solidarity. sadly, few acquired the skills needed to preserve their stories for posterity; and those who did wrote with european quills and european ink on european paper. what of the vast majority? what of those who never learned to read or write and never accepted the religion of their oppressors?   their stories are lost. all but a few of the ten million came from societies in which literature was oral, rather than written. even when the light of history shines briefly on one of those black faces, it is seldom an african who holds the flickering torch and tells us what he sees. the fragments which have come down to us are shattered images of african society, african beliefs, african relationships, african people. </li> </ul>   </li> <li> ama's story <ul> <li> this novel is an attempt to recreate the experience of enslavement and resistance, seen from the point of view of one african slave.   in 1772, the musketeers of the army of the asante confederacy vanquished the archers and cavalry of the kingdom of dagomba. the victor exacted from the defeated enemy an annual tribute of five hundred slaves. ama, then known by her birth-name, nandzi, is left alone to care for her baby brother. she is captured, raped and enslaved. her name is taken from her. she fights back; she is defeated. she escapes; and is recaptured. from the moment when she loses her freedom, her life oscillates between resistance to her successive owners and a reluctant accommodation to their power. the dagomba give her to the asante; the asante sell her to the dutch. on board an english slave ship, she instigates a rebellion; and suffers a terrible retribution when it fails. in brazil, where eighteen-hour work shifts send slaves to an early death, she attempts to build a new life. sustained by ancient beliefs, ama's spirit never wavers. enslaved she might have been, but to herself she is never a slave. </li> </ul>   </li> <li> this web-site <ul> <li> whether we are aware of it or not,  the holocaust which was the atlantic slave trade has in some way affected everyone of us who lives on the shores of the atlantic and beyond. i hope that you will find ama's story a good read; but beyond that, if it leaves you with a hunger to know more, please click on the links in the panel on the left. please be warned that some of the web page contain a great deal of text and may take time to load. enhancements will take you to a list of the main characters in the novel and a glossary. </li> </ul>   <ul> <li> texts and sources leads to references to the work of distinguished scholars, supported in some cases by  texts which relate in some way to ama's story.  issues includes discussions on the problem of achieving authenticity and plausibility in a historical novel of this nature; on the middle passage in fiction; on african participation in slavery and the slave trade; on how the atlantic slave trade features in the curriculum of schools in the united states; on racism; and on reparations. other information includes the unesco slave route project, films dealing with slavery and the atlantic slave trade, slavery and anti-slavery in the world today, african literature, conferences and  museums of slavery and the slave trade. reactions will lead you to blurbs and reviews of ama (if there are any) and will offer you a place to record your comments on ama and on this web site. </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <a href= "internal_links.htm" > internal links </a> </body> </html>
