| adam_text | From prizewinning, bestselling author
Colson Whitehead* a magnificent tour de
force chronicling a young slave s
adventures as she makes a desperate hid
for freedom in the antebellum South
Cora is a slave on a cotton plantation in Georgia. Life is
hell for all the slaves, but especially bad for Cora; an
outcast even among her fellow Africans, she is com-
ing into womanhood—where even greater pain awaits.
When Caesar, a recent arrival from Virginia, tells her
about the Underground Railroad, they decide to talce a
terrifying risk: and escape. Matters do not go as planned—
Cora kills a young white boy who tries to capture her.
Though they manage to find a station and head north,
they are being hunted.
In Whitehead’s ingenious conception, the Under-
ground Railroad is no mere metaphor—engineers and
conductors operate a secret network of tracks and tunnels
beneath the Southern soil- Cora and Caesar’s first stop is
South Carolina, in a city that initially seems like a haven.
But the city’s placid surface masks an insidious scheme de-
signed for its black denizens. And even worse: Ridgeway,
the relentless slave catcher, is close on their heels. Forced
to flee again, Cora embarks on a harrowing flight, state by
state, seeking true freedom.
Like the protagonist of Gulliver s Travels, Cora en-
counters different worlds at each stage of her journey—
hers is an odyssey through time as well as space. As
Whitehead brilliantly re-creates the unique terrors for
black people in the pre—Civil War era, his narrative
seamlessly weaves the saga of America from the brutal
importation of Africans to the unfulfilled promises of the
present day. The Underground Railroad is at once a kinetic
adventure tale of one woman’s ferocious will to escape
the horrors of bondage and a shattering, powerful medi-
tation on the history we all share.
