- Title
The Theme of Emancipation in Black American Autobiographies.
- Authors
Pathak, Vandana
- Abstract
The slave narratives deal with the experiences, thoughts, and feelings of human beings held in chattel slavery and reveal the impact of slavery on black men, women and children, individually and collectively. Many slave narratives were amanuensis documents and exposed the oppressive condition of the Blacks and the repressive tactics adopted by the whites against them. In the twentieth century too the works of Black American writers like Claude Brown, Richard Wright, Baldwin, Langston Hughes and Gordon Parks are the seedlings of black consciousness and strongly express their yearning for freedom.
