A review by lenkachladkova
Oroonoko by Aphra Behn

dark medium-paced

1.5

To sum up the message of this book: “Guys, I think slavery is kinda bad, don’t you? Like, I still enjoy living on stolen land and profiting off of the native inhabitants, but I think we went too far when we quartered this particular slave. He was really handsome and noble for a black person!”

One star for Aphra Behn for being one of the first female writers + one of the first people to openly “criticise” slavery. Half a star for being short. That’s about it.
