Zamba Zembola
Zamba Zembola (born c. 1780) is the supposed author of an 1847 slave narrative, ''The Life and Adventures of Zamba, an African Negro King; and his Experience of Slavery in South Carolina'', which describes his kidnapping and 40 years of labor as a slave on a plantation in the U.S. state of South Carolina. The work was edited by Peter Neilson, a Scottish abolitionist.
==Debate on authenticity of ''The Life and Adventures of Zamba''==
On its appearance in 1847, ''The Spectator'' took a sceptical view of all the detail in the book; the ''New Monthly Magazine'', however, called it "a genuine and interesting sketch of African domestic manners". A review from 1848 in the ''Baptist Magazine'' raised the question of its authenticity.
Some modern scholarly sources state outright that Neilson was the author of the work. Graham White wrote of the time gap between the 1820s, when on Neilson's account he knew Zamba in the USA, and 1847 when the work was published, as raising issues that do not have immediate answers.〔Graham White, "Inventing the Past? The Remarkable Story of an African King in Charleston", ''Australasian Journal of American Studies'' Vol. 12, No. 2 (December 1993), pp. 1-14, at p. 11. Published by Australia and New Zealand American Studies Association (Stable URL: )〕 Robert S. Starobin stated that the work "provides an extreme example of the problem of antislavery romanticism in a slave narrative", citing also Philip D. Curtin's opinion that it was a "blatant forgery".〔Robert S. Starobin, "Privileged Bondsmen and the Process of Accommodation: The Role of Houseservants and Drivers as Seen in Their Own Letters", ''Journal of Social History'' Vol. 5, No. 1 (Autumn 1971) , pp. 46-70, at p. 49 note 5.
