Book Description
Ashton Warner was born a slave in St. Vincent, West Indies but was purchased and freed by his aunt, Daphne Crosbie, a former slave, along with his mother, and other relatives. When he was ten years old, Mr. Wilson, a plantation owner, questioned Warner's claim to freedom, despite the legal papers his mother and aunt held, and Warner was forced to remain a slave. Although he was not subjected to the same degree of brutality as other slaves, Warner became indignant and defiant, because he believed in the legitimacy of his status as a free man. He eventually escaped and arrived in England in 1830, where he tried to contact Mr. Wilson in the hope of securing his freedom. Although Mr. Wilson had died, his executors agreed to investigate the matter. However, Warner died before a decision was reached and his narrative was published.

African American Slave Narratives

Book Description
African American slave narratives of the 19th century recorded the atrocities of the antebellum South and provided a solid foundation for the African American literary tradition. By presenting 16 slave narratives in their entirety, this reference conveniently documents this historically significant literary genre. A vivid and moving history of African Americans seeking to establish community, liberty, economic independence, and education within the constraints of a repressive society. This reference intentionally avoids well-known narratives and instead collects unavailable and otherwise difficult-to-find texts. To add to the value of the work for researchers and general readers alike, each narrative is accompanied by a preface, explanatory notes, and suggestions for further reading. Many of the narratives gathered here were influential when initially published; Josiah Henson's presentation of himself, for example, embodies many of the characteristics given to Uncle Tom by Harriet Beecher Stowe in her novel Uncle Tom's Cabin. While other collections often only provide excerpts from widely available texts, this reference includes complete narratives. The introductions and annotations redefine current thinking in the field by closely examining how these authors used language, structured their writing, and crafted their autobiographies. By examining the historical, cultural, literary, and social issues that African Americans have faced since their arrival, this reference provides the broad context necessary to understand the literary, social, and intellectual traditions from which these writings developed.
