Den underjordiske jernbane af Colson Whitehead
Fremragende, velskrevet beskrivelse af slavernes forfærdelige forhold i sydstaterne. Den underjordiske jernbane, som var en helt utrolig jernbane under jorden, som slaverne brugte til at flygte nordpå. Der afdækkes grusomme forhold. Meget rystende skildringer.
