The Moor's Account
by Laila Lalami
"The first Black explorer of America finally tells his own story."
Estebanico, an enslaved Moroccan man, was one of four survivors of a doomed 1527 Spanish expedition to Florida — and the only one history silenced. Lalami gives him his voice back in this gripping imagined memoir of survival and reinvention.
