ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK
“The Underground Railroad” by Colson Whitehead is a powerful and imaginative novel that follows the harrowing journey of Cora, an enslaved woman escaping from a Georgia plantation. The story reimagines the Underground Railroad as an actual railroad system, transporting Cora through various states, each presenting its own challenges and illusions of freedom. The novel explores themes of resilience, the struggle for liberation, and the harsh realities of slavery. Through Cora’s experiences, Whitehead addresses the brutality of racism and the enduring human spirit in the quest for dignity and autonomy amidst oppression.
