| The Book of Negroes | comment |
The Book of Negroes is a 2007 novel by Lawrence Hill about a young African girl named Aminata who is taken as a slave and her struggle for freedom.Released in several countries (including the United States) under the title Someone Knows My Name, because apparently publishers were hesitant about releasing a book with the word "Negro" in the title. A miniseries was produced in 2015 and aired on CBC and BET. | |

Title Drop | |
| The Book of Negroes / int_18d15922 | comment |
Title Drop: "It will be called the Book of Negroes." Also an example of Aluminum Christmas Trees: the "Book of Negroes" was a real document, which listed the thousands of slaves who were evacuated during the war. The U.S. title is also used in dialogue, but in a rather unimportant conversation early in the book. | |

Cursed with Awesome: Aminata often points out that her attractiveness was more of a curse than a blessing. | |

The Revolution Will Not Be Villified: Averted. The revolution is shown as very much a case of Grey and Grey Morality with both sides selfish and hypocritical for all that they have some good points. | |

Anti-Villain: Solomon Lindo is a Type IV. Aminata acknowledges that he is a good man at heart, but he can't see that the system of slavery corrupts him for as long as he participates in it. | |
