Ukawsaw Gronniosaw
Ukawsaw Gronniosaw (c. 1705 – 28 September 1775), also known as
James Albert, was an
enslaved African man who is considered the first published African in Britain. Gronniosaw is known for his 1772 narrative autobiography ''A Narrative of the Most Remarkable Particulars in the Life of James Albert Ukawsaw Gronniosaw, an African Prince, as Related by Himself'', which was the first
slave narrative published in England. His autobiography recounted his early life in present-day
Nigeria, his enslavement, and his eventual emancipation.
