this is reflected and examined in Lawrence Hill’s award-winning novel and the
Television mini-series, The Book of Negroes.
The six-part mini-series follows the life of Aminata Diallo, a young African girl
kidnapped by slave traders and brought across the Atlantic to North America. In the
course of her long and hard life, Aminata is a witness to major events in the slave trade
and the history of Black North Americans.
Over seven chapters, the app provides a timeline of Black history from 1705 to the
present day. In addition, it explores the historical grounding of both the novel and series
in the original Book of Negroes historical document, which identified Black slaves who
fought for the British during the American Revolution.
Using images, videos, and interactive maps, the guide follows the far-reaching impact of
the trans-Atlantic slave trade. For educational settings, the guide features optional
discussion questions and further investigation of the various topics. An intuitive interface
allows users to swipe, tap, and scroll through chapters to engage with interactive
features in a linear or nonlinear fashion, and gain a deeper understanding of the
historical events portrayed in The Book of Negroes.
