In The Tears of the Black Man, award-winning author Alain Mabanckou explores what it means to be black in the world today. Mabanckou confronts the long and entangled history of Africa, France, and the United States as it has been shaped by slavery, colonialism, and their legacy today. Without ignoring the injustices and prejudice still facing blacks, he distances himself from resentment and victimhood, arguing that focusing too intensely on the crimes of the past is limiting. Instead, it is time to ask: Now what? Embracing the challenges faced by ethnic minority communities today, The Tears of the Black Man looks to the future, choosing to believe that the history of Africa has yet to be written and seeking a path toward affirmation and reconciliation.

As he travels on a ship bound for America, the prince realizes he will never again hear his name--Atachawayo--cried out in greeting. But as soon as the ship docks in New Orleans, Samuel, as he is now known, escapes with a member of the slave ship's company and enters into a bargain that will change the direction of his life forever. After he becomes the shadow master of a large plantation in Georgia, he begins planning his revenge against the man who brought him to America in chains ... As he begins what will become a thirty-five-year journey from the confines of slavery to the joy of freedom ... Samuel stops at nothing to fulfill his promise to himself to achieve total revenge."--Back cover
