  The culmination of William Wells Brown's long writing career, My Southern Home is the story of Brown's search for a home in a land of slavery and racism. Brown (1814-84), a prolific and celebrated abolitionist and writer often recognised as the first African American novelist for Clotel (1853), was born enslaved in Kentucky and escaped to Ohio in 1834.
