What's it about
Presentation of the book Drapetomania, which tells the story of a boy taken from Africa to America in 1857 and gives voice to those who surrounded slavery: the factor, the slave ship captain, the abolitionist consul, the owner's daughter, the local judge, the slave hunter and a medical student. A reflection on how the abnormal becomes normal and how science has defined "drapetomania" as the distress that drives the slave to escape.
