Why "Does" the Slave Ever Love? The Subject of Romance Revisited in the Neoslave Narrative.
- Authors
Robinson, Angelo Rich
- Abstract
This essay focuses on the love affair between the Africans and the Americans in the slavery times in the U.S. It examines the anti African American intimate relationship which according to Adam Nehemiah, a nineteenth-century writer was a joke and ridiculous notion. It is mentioned that the romance was only shaped by slavery which considered as the opposite of the possibility. The author said that the fact of intimacy is unavoidable aspect of human life however, it was hidden within the black community as the American denied a space of love for the black people.
