One cannot fail to be impressed by the number of works of fiction relating to slavery and the slave trade, writing back to the original slave narratives of the 18th and 19th centuries.

If the African-American authors of the s and s are now well-known, they find an echo in works written more recently in the s and s by American, African, African-American and Caribbean writers. About twenty writers come under the scrutiny of renowned scholars, offering perspectives into what makes it so necessary today for writers, critics and readers alike to revisit, reassess and reappropriate the canonical texts of slavery and post-slavery literature.

The specificity of this collection is to focus on neo-slave novels while bringing together African-American and Caribbean authors. The African American slave narrative is popularly viewed as the story of a lone male's flight from slavery to freedom, best exemplified by the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave But in stressing Douglass's narrative as a model for the genre, scholars have ignored the formal and thematic importance of marriage and family in the slave narrative.

In doing so, the volume points to the influence of those narratives on the later fiction of Douglass, William Wells Brown, and Martin Delany, and invites a reexamination of current assumptions about slave narratives. The Oxford Handbook of the African American Slave Narrative approaches the history of slave testimony in three ways: by prioritizing the broad tradition over individual authors; by representing interdisciplinary approaches to slave narratives; and by highlighting emerging scholarship on slave narratives, concerning both established debates over concerns of authorship and agency, for example, and developing concerns like ecocritical readings of slave narratives.

Ultimately, the aim of the Handbook is not to highlight the singularity of any particular account, nor to comfortably locate slave narratives in traditional literary or cultural history, but rather to faithfully represent a body of writing and testimony that was designed to speak for the many, to represent the unspeakable, and to account for the experience of enslaved and nominally free communities.

Academic Paper from the year in the subject Literature - Africa, grade: 1, University of Derby, language: English, abstract: It is the aim of this paper to understand why "The Interesting Narrative" had such an impact on the abolition movement and why it is deemed so important in current scholarly studies.

Thus, this text argues that "The Interesting Narrative" was effective in creating public support for the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade. This work focuses on how Equiano achieved a successful propaganda narrative; chapter one examines the expression and portrayal of his own personal identity and the identity of the Africans which was crucial in altering the European audience's perception and attitudes towards Africans.

The first chapter discusses how Equiano used identity within the narrative to change European perceptions of Africans: representation of animalisation and dehumanisation, along with dual identity are all examined.
