In her sensitive tale, Mrs Fox tells the story of a young boy of thirteen, Jessie Bollier. He's growing up in New Orleans at the time when slavery is still flourishing in the United States and he is often to be seen playing his flute in the "Vieux Carré".
Jessie is kidnapped by two men and brought on board "The Moonlight", a slaver which is about to sail to Africa. The trade is called "Black Gold" by Captain Cawthorne, an illegal venture making him no better than a pirate. He tells Jessie that he was kidnapped to work with the Blacks as a slave dancer on the vessel, playing his pipe, "because it keeps them happy since it is hard to make a profit out of a sick nigger". As the long voyage begins, Jessie is about to discover the atrocious business of slavery.
The originality of Mrs Fox's novel is that the events are seen and experienced by a thirteen year old boy. His naïveté is funny and touching in many situations and lightens the tone of this otherwise sombre tale.

The stave dancer is about a boy who was tricked and kiddnapped by a butch of rowdy pirates. The pirates are on there way to capture and sell slaves from Africa. The boys job was to play the flute for the slave so they could dance and strengthen their muscels. Its a thriling adventure book. I throught it was a great book and it was my favorite. I recommend this book to 7th graders.

This book was awarded the John Newbery Award in 1974, thisaward is for the most distinguished children's book published theprevious year. I chose the book The Slave Dancer By: Paula Fox. This book wasvery interesting to me. It is about a boy who is leading a normallife, and runs an errand for his mother. While he is gone, some sailors kidnap him. When he discovers where he is, it is too late. They have already taken him into the sea. He lives on a boat, which is used to transport slaves, as a ship boy for months. Jessie, the main character, is a good-hearted boy and has trouble being involved in the slave trade. At one point, he is beaten because of his compassion towards the future African slaves. Eventually most of the slaves die, he actually watches some of them be thrown overboard, both living and dead. In the end, the boat sinks, but Jessie and a little boy that he had bonded with earlier survive. However, this book truly hits home with many thoughts of racism today. The discussion of the slaves in general is very good for a child to hear. It portrays how the slaves were treated and how young innocent white boys were made to help in the torture of the slaves. When Jessie feels compassion towards them and is beaten for it, this explains a lot. The captain and others try to make Jessie feel hatred towards these African slaves. This is the way that many people were brought up. With these negative attitudes people have, many of them are raising their
children the same way. I think that Paula Fox did a wonderful job of portraying this idea. I looked at this book as a "book people" book. The book is telling the truth in every way possible. It uses great detail in describing some of the events. It even gets gory in some parts. Not many children's books do this, and get by with it. It actually has a Grimm brothers sort of approach. Fox tells things the way they were; she does not "soften" them up for the children. The other side, however, would say the book was not fit for children due to the gore of it and even some language. In an article written by Sarah Hinlicky entitled "Don't Write About Race", she discusses the topic of race in writing, including children's literature. Hinlicky gives many good reasons why people don't write about racial issues. Hinlicky says that one of the main reasons is fear. She says that "the wise writer observes the rules and politely declines to write about race." This keeps them from being tortured and ridiculed for writing about racial issues. In the end of the article she proposes a very powerful statement: Black America and white America are different cultures, these cultures still distrust one another. Moving across color lines also means moving across culture lines...Maybe there's an answer I've found, but I think I'd better quit now, since I'm not supposed to be writing about race in the first place. This statement is important in saying how people think they aren't supposed to discuss the topic. I think it is almost challenging for people to look at it in Hinlicky's light. I think I take a book people stand. Children need to know the truth in the history of acts such as this. They cannot keep the truth from the children, or that will lead to children who have racial tension. Many children today are misinformed of this part of history. Both black children and white children are confused with their facts in this matter. (.....)I loved this book because it kept me interestered from beginning to end with all the plots and detials in it. This was truly a great book! END

The Slave Dancer- A powerful tale
This book is powerful and packs a punch, it illustrates the obsienity and the pure disgustingness of the slave trade, if you have a weak stomach, do not read this book.
