I, Tituba, black witch of Salem : a novel / Maryse Condé ; translated by Richard Philcox ; foreword by Angela Y. Davis ; afterword by Ann Armstrong Scarboro.

"This wild and entertaining novel, winner of France's Grand prix littéraire de la femme, expands on the true story of the West Indian enslaved woman Tituba, who was accused of witchcraft in Salem, Massachusetts, arrested in 1692, and forgotten in jail until the general amnesty for witches two years later. Maryse Condé brings Tituba out of historical silence and turns her into an epic heroine who, schooled in the sorcery and magical ritual of obeah, is arrested for healing members of the family that enslaves her." -- Provided by publisher.
