As a movie reviewer with a keen interest in the intersection of personal narratives and historical context, I find John Edgar Wideman’s “Slaveroad” to be a profoundly moving and enlightening journey. With a life experience that spans across continents and generations, Wideman masterfully weaves together memoir, autofiction, history, and poetry in a way that makes the trans-Atlantic slave trade feel as immediate as yesterday’s news.
John Edgar Wideman’s unique autobiography, titled “Slaveroad“, delves into not just his personal life, but also the lives of African men and women who were transported to America via the transatlantic slave trade. This work masterfully blends memoir, autofiction, history, and poetry. It starts by detailing the travels of individuals such as William Henry Sheppard, a descendant of enslaved Virginians who became one of the first African Americans to serve as a missionary for the Presbyterian Church in Africa in 1890.
