In African-American slave trade slaves experienced a great loss of local culture and customs. When they were kidnapped from their houses and taken to their new land, slaveowners often forced their slaves to adopt new identifiable identities for the Caucasians. Aminoata, the main character of "Black Book", is called some name in her life. Her African name Aminata Diallo is available in several versions including Miss Diallo or Aminata.

I read the first junior high school black book at Lawrence Hill when I first read about the place the heritage came from Sierra Leone. When I was young it caused a new interest in the culture I was staying today. When I grew up, I learned that Lawrence Hill was a famous black writer in Canada. The last researcher, Apefa Adjivon, Serena Williams, is an inspiration inside and outside of this area, especially for researchers working for girls and women. One thing I like about her is as follows. "The success of all women must be another woman's inspiration.We need to be promoted to each other.Example Reena Gupta, a class researcher

Like a book I read Lawrence Hill's "Black Book" in two sizes and two children's books. My 3 year old child was drawing my own book and digging in the garden while my son had a sling and that book was in my hand. I read novels from morning till evening. I tried to calm my reading, because I did not understand how this page and the chapter worked. I can not sleep at all so I never saw it before I went to bed! If I were called to the world created by the author, I did not want to leave until I was kicked out (I hope this is not my own way of living)

All forms of sentences, reading and literature are effective ways to limit conflicts and difficulties for equality. Lawrence Hill's novel "Black Book" talks about the struggle between African Americans and how they cope with prejudice and discrimination in society. Racial discrimination adversely affected Aminata's life, losing her freedom, lowering her self-esteem, and letting others turn helpless. Aminata's freedom was lost when Americans began treating her ruthlessly in a different way from others. As a helpless woman, Aminata can not do anything about it. When her white owner handed the food to her, she said, "I will die earlier than eating pork" (Hil, 105). She knows that eating pork in Aminata's culture is forbidden, but her white owner still gives her pork to eat without any other choice or substitution.
