Synopsis

Antebellum is a provocative and compelling novel that follows a modern-day rapper who is transported back to the days of slavery. When Da Nigga is sent back in time, he finds himself a slave forced to live the life of his ancestors. A rapper in the present day, Da Nigga must confront the reality of the African-American experience as slavery challenges everything he holds dear: from his fellow rappers and their lyrics, to the executives and their motives. Antebellum is a powerful addition to today's discourse on race and culture.
