The New Urban Atlantic: Slave Narratives from the British West Indies, 1709-1838

Aljoe, N.

Analyses the relationships among the socio-historical contexts, generic forms, and rhetorical strategies of British West Indian slave narratives. Grounded by the syncretic theories of creolisation and testimonio  it breaks new ground by reading these dictated and fragmentary narratives on their own terms as examples of 'creole testimony'.
