A dugout canoe comes ashore on the island of Saint-Barthlemy in the Antilles; in it are a black man, Arsne, and a sleeping white child, Sarah. Seeking refuge, they are taken in by a good man, but the overseer of his plantation threatens both Arsne and Sarah with the loss of their freedom. Deborah Jenson and Doris Kadish introduce Sarah, an 1821 novella by Desbordes-Valmore, explaining its autobiographical background, political context, and literary genre.
