John Edgar Wideman’s genre-bending autobiography chronicles not only his life, but also those of African men and women who made their way to the U.S. through the trans–Atlantic slave trade. A poignant mix of memoir, autofiction, history, and poetry, Slaveroad begins by tracing the journeys of people like William Henry Sheppard, a descendant of enslaved Virginians who returned to Africa in 1890 to become one of the first African Americans to work as a missionary for the Presbyterian Church.
