This is a riveting historical account of an early African in New Jersey on par with the narrative of Olaudah Equiano. Cudjo, or Banquante, is an extraordinary person who enters our history in this book with a much fuller portrait and historical account then has been possible. The author's work is thorough, literate, and erudite.
