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.

​@Horror Genes Let's just imagine our modern day roadtrip: Just because the GPS said I will get to my destination in one hour doesn't mean I'll get there in one hour. I might stop somewhere for a while, then continue. Maybe even visit someone along the way. So many reason of why people delay when they travel. Sickness along the way, or plain long rest somewhere, just so many reasons.

@Horror Genes To answer your question on who stole him: let's look at modern day sex trafficking. Some young girls who are traffic are actually stolen. Now if you find a girl being sexually abused and she tells you she was kidnap and force into this, and more about the details of her predicament. It's most likely that she will focus more about the men sexually abusing her than the actual kidnapper.

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.

@Horror Genes As an African myself married to an Igbo man and seeing how white people lied about our African history makes me not easily convinced when I'm told our accounts are questionable. Yes, it's possible for a man to lie, so don't get me wrong; it's just that as Africans we've been discredited so many times by the western intellectuals. and I believe sometimes it's not done consciously or with mean spirits but we are easily discredited. I came to America at the age of 12. I have so many stories to tell about my people, my country just from my childhood memories. children remember very well. I have children here in America that I tell stories about my my childhood back home. If I was to write a book one day and make it political, I know for sure someone will try to discredit it base on mistakes in my writing or the fact that it was political. Anyhow, you have your opinion about this man's writing, which is normal. I haven't seen any writings without opinions, wether favorable or not.

​@Horror Genes I know you said a lot but what caught my attention was the north Benin you mentioned. My husband although is an Igbo man and his family claim to be igbo, he will tell you that they are igbo but of Benin origin. And even before Benin their earliest family members traveled from Egypt and crossed over many African countries. Also as africans we recognize each other by facial features. When we see someone from our tribe we know. It's hard for other people. It's like looking at a Japanese and thinking they are Chinese. An Igbo men knows another Igbo men. That same Igbo men can give you history of where they relatives travel from before reaching Igbo land. Many western Historian are not specialized in African tribes; moreover, for a long time, they did not deem it important to even study, since Africans were looked at as inhuman. So for them to now claim they know if this man is from this tribe or not or if he travel that long or not is not convincing to me. I don't trust any western European about our history. They enslaved Africans, colonized them, are now trying to shape their history to fit their western mindset.

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.
