disasterchick 's review for:
Oroonoko
by Aphra Behn
I would not have read this book except for it having been listed on the 1,001 books to read before you die list. The point that grabbed me the most was it was okay to have slaves won in battle, but wrong to capture to buy and sell. It got me thinking about modern day slavery. We don't really have people owing their soul to the company store anymore, but is it really possible for those of the bottom rung of the ladder can actually move up? It is also interesting how Behn points out his European features and the beauty of Imoinda. This story also confims the statement about not giving your trust but making people earn it.
