Originally published in 1858, this uncommon travel narrative tells the story of David F. Dorr, an enslaved man who accompanied Louisiana plantation owner Cornelius Fellowes on a tour of the world's major cities with the promise of liberty upon their return. Back in the United States, the enslaver broke his promise, and Dorr escaped to Ohio and set about writing of his experiences
"Malini Johar Schueller has edited and annotated the 1858 text and added a critical introduction that provides a useful context for understanding and appreciating this important but heretofore neglected document. Her edition of A Colored Man Round the World provides a fascinating account of Dorr's negotiation of the conflicting roles of slave versus man, taking into account all of the racial complexities that existed at the time. As a traveler abroad, Dorr claimed an American selfhood that allowed him mobility in Europe, and he benefited from the privileges accorded American "Orientalists" venturing in the near East. However, any empowerment that Dorr experienced while a tourist vanished upon his return to America"--Publisher's description
