Description
This seminar will introduce students to Caribbean women’s (neo-)slave narratives. We will discuss "The History of Mary Prince: A West Indian Slave" to learn more about the genre of the 19th-century slave narrative and the historical context of transatlantic enslavement. The following section of the seminar is dedicated to two neo-slave narratives, Andrea Levy’s "The Long Song" (2010) and Sara Collins’ "The Confessions of Frannie Langton" (2019). Both novels specifically engage with female enslavement experiences from a distinctly 21st-century perspective. In addition to our own close readings of passages from the books, we will also engage with secondary literature. This will enable us to pay special attention to both novels’ narrative structure and style as well as to the ethical, social, political, and cultural issues they raise.
