Higher Ground, by Caryl Phillips (used)

In Higher Ground Caryl Phillips presents three characters separated by time and distance but united by the profound sympathy he has for their humanity.

In the first story a young West African is oppressed by the shadow of slavery; in the second an Afro-American fights to survive solitary confinement without sacrificing his dignity; in the third a Polish refugee struggles to ward off the increasing isolation of a life in exile.
