Ourika, una nina senegalesa condenada a la esclavitud y la barbarie, es salvada por un piadoso aristocrata que la traslada a Francia donde recibe una refinada educacion al cuidado de Madame de B. La conciencia de su color de piel supone un conflicto insalvable para la mentalidad y los modales propios de una sociedad que jamas le perdonara semejante pecado original. Ourika queda asi atrapada entre un mundo que la rechaza y otro al que ya nunca podra regresar. El trasfondo historico de su tragedia se desarrolla en los convulsos anos previos a la Revolucion Francesa que, pese a sus promesas de libertad, igualdad y fraternidad, no consigue de facto abolir los prejuicios y diferencias que condenan a Ourika a un exilio emocional involuntario.
