Florida Historical Society Charlton Tebeau Award In this revised and expanded edition of Anna Kingsley’s remarkable life story, Daniel Schafer draws on new discoveries to prove true the longstanding rumors that Anna Madgigine Jai was originally a princess from the royal family of Jolof in Senegal. Captured from her homeland in 1806, she became first an American slave, later a slaveowner, and eventually a central figure in a free black community. Anna Kingsley’s story adds a dramatic chapter to the history of the South, the state of Florida, and the African diaspora.

If you are a Paranormal History fan, who enjoys the works of Octavia Butler's 'KINDRED' or even Toni Morrison's 'BELOVED', you will find I WAS to be an enjoyable, must read selection. The old Kingsley Plantation in Jacksonville, FL offers an undeniably heart wrenching and haunting history. So when the wife and slave of its former owner, Anna Madgigine Jai Kingsley - a former slave and African Princess turned plantation owner - decides to transcend time and death to bring her life story to present day in order to save the only home she has known, chaos ensues. Anna 'reaches' out to the unsuspecting, twenty five year old Rylind Corliss, editor of the Jacksonville Post Gazette; whom Anna has chosen to be her earthly voice. For Rylind, helping Anna will hopefully mean an end to the living hell she has been through over the past few months at the hands of debilitating nightmares. Determined to find out more about the nightmares, and more importantly, learn why she is having them and how to stop them; Rylind's efforts lead her to Anna's former home - Kingsley Plantation, where she meets the ghost of Anna. What she also finds are chilling and mind boggling similarities between her nightmares and the actual life of the African Princess turned slave. Anna offers to help Rylind stop the nightmares in return for her help. The downfall is that Rylind will have to accompany Anna into these horrific dreams. Little does Rylind realize, though, what is waiting for her there. Beyond experiencing the horrors that she soon learns were once Anna's life, Rylind discovers a revelation so disturbing that her own life will be forever changed. Anna Madgigine Jai Kingsley. Though there is precious little written about her in the history books, her true life story is one of great magnitude, interest and inspiration. Born in 1793 in West Africa, her inner strength and ability of unbound proportion combined with an acute sense of intuitiveness, carries her from her early life as an African Princess through the bitter turmoil of kidnapping, captivity and enslavement to become a free, black plantation and slave owner in East Florida. The gripping and painful reality of Anna's life and slavery in early America is the true life inspiration for this fictional work that is creatively brought into present day through 25 year old Rylind Corliss.

Zephaniah Kingsley is best known for his Fort George Island plantation in Duval County, Florida, now a National Park Service site, and for his 1828 pamphlet, A Treatise on the Patriarchal System of Society, that advocated just and human treatment of slaves, liberal emancipation policies, and granting rights to free persons of color. Paradoxically, his fortune came from the purchase, sale, and labor of enslaved Africans. In this penetrating biography, Daniel Schafer vividly chronicles Kingsley's evolving thoughts on race and slavery, exploring his business practices and his private life. Kingsley fathered children by several enslaved women, then freed and lived with them in a unique mixed-race family. One of the women--the only one he acknowledged as his "wife" though they were never formally married--was Anta Madgigine Ndiaye (Anna Kingsley), a member of the Senegalese royal family, who was captured in a slave raid and purchased by Kingsley in Havana, Cuba. A ship captain, Caribbean merchant, and Atlantic slave trader during the perilous years of international warfare following the French Revolution, Kingsley sought protection under neutral flags, changing allegiance from Britain to the United States, Denmark, and Spain. Later, when the American acquisition of Florida brought rigid race and slavery policies that endangered the freedom of Kingsley's mixed-race family, he responded by moving his "wives" and children to a settlement in Haiti he established for free persons of color. Kingsley's assertion that color should not be a "badge of degradation" made him unusual in the early Republic; his unique life is revealed in this fascinating reminder of the deep connections between Europe, the Caribbean, and the young United States.

Qui est Anna Madgigine Jai Kingsley ? Née Anta Madjiguene Ndiaye, cette princesse issue de la famille royale de l’actuel Sénégal fut capturée en 1806, alors qu’elle n’avait que treize ans, pour être vendue à Zephaniah Kingsley, un marchand d’esclaves et riche exploitant originaire de Floride, qui, pris d’affection pour la belle Africaine, fit d’elle sa compagne, la mère de plusieurs de ses enfants, mais aussi son bras droit pour administrer ses terres. Anna connaît alors une incroyable ascension sociale dans une Amérique en construction bouleversée par les guerres – de Sécession, « des Patriotes » – et traversée par des tensions raciales de plus en plus violentes, qui lui permet non seulement de recouvrer sa liberté, mais aussi de devenir elle-même une femme d’affaires influente, gestionnaire de sa propre plantation et une figure centrale de la communauté noire libre. Au décès de son compagnon, elle mène un combat acharné contre la famille de ce dernier et la justice américaine pour protéger son héritage et celui de ses enfants métis. De l’Afrique à la Floride, en passant par Cuba et Haïti, l’extraordinaire périple de cette princesse wolof victime de la traite négrière est à l’origine d’une véritable légende, particulièrement au Sénégal, où son histoire la hisse au rang de véritable héroïne.
