I am Taituba

I, Tituba - Salem's Black Witch About the book Moi, Tituba, Sorcière…Noire de Salem ("I, Tituba: Black Witch of Salem") In the records that preserved the events of the Salem witch trials in Salem, Massachusetts, a strange name draws attention: "Tituba," the Black slave. Marise Conde retells the story from the beginning, going back to before Tituba's birth, from the moment her mother was pregnant with her, aboard the ship that took her to be sold along with slaves in Barbados; tracing her life path where faces, times, places, geographies, and worlds intersect, the living connect with the dead, and the spirit of the world flows, uniting humans, plants, and animals... and where only one word guides the compass of our heroine’s journey in a world of chaos and cruelty: freedom! It is a unique human epic that, thanks to the author, a daughter of the colonies, gained worldwide recognition for her excellence as a human and a writer.
