Sailor, entrepreneur, and adventurer, Equiano is revealed here as never before, thanks to archival research on an unprecedented scalesome of which even indicates that Equiano may have lied about his origins to advance the antibondage struggle with which he became famously identified. A masterpiece of scholarship and writerly poise, this book redefines an extraordinary man and the turbulent age that shaped him.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51892993425696,"sku":"NEW0143038427","price":83.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/611BRjzL32L.jpg?v=1781993501","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/equiano-the-african-biography-of-a-self-made-man-0143038427","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
