AFRO-AMERICAN LITERATURE FROM SLAVE NARRATIVES TO RECENT FICTION
Main Article Content
Abstract
Slave tales were an important way to start a conversation between blacks and whites about
slavery and freedom in the late 18th and early 19th century. A lot can be learned about
African American history and literature from stories about people who were and were not
slaves. They also show how whites and blacks have talked about each other in the United
States, especially for African Americans, over the last two centuries. This paper gives a quick
look at how Afro-American literature has changed over time, from slave stories to modern
fiction. Another thing that is explained in this part of the introduction are the goals of this
study and the method used, which is a Black feminist perspective.
