The memoir-biography "A Fugitive Slave's Life" by Cuban author Miguel Barnet has been a landmark in Latin American literature since its first publication in 1966.
It was the first book to explore the lives of enslaved Africans who were forcibly transported from Africa to Latin America, as well as their struggles for independence of their new homeland.
With the immediacy of the language of an ordinary person who has seen and experienced much, in a blunt and straightforward manner, it judges the people he knew. "His honesty (Esteban) and revolutionary spirit are admirable. His honesty toward life is expressed at various moments in the narrative, especially during the War of Independence... Esteban Montejo, at 105 years old, is a true example of revolutionary behavior and character... This book tells the common experiences of many people regarding their nationality..."
