Thank you for this video. I’m learning more about literature and chose to read this as a challenge to write an essay about later on. This video was super helpful for giving insight to the book. I made a ton of notes!

Equano was an igbo kid, stolen from his parents in Nigeria. It is clearly written in his autobiography.

[MyDaara]

So now some people think that he was lying about his childhood stories in Nigeria. Equiano opens his book in a matter that shows his deep faith in God; he does not seem like a man who will makeup such a lie.

If anyone didn’t know this but the first recourse the guys name is spelt Brycchan Carey

[julesmoro]

His name is a name of a village in igbo till today! The real pronouncing of his name is (ikwuano olaudah) thanks for the video.

What is your agenda. The author dropped so many bombs in this book you're missing all of them. And I love the time you spent questioning was he authentic or not in the story origin.

the moment you said "probably the best biography" I spotted your western bias
