Abstract EN
The Slave Narrative is a literary genre penned by African male and female slaves who lived in America particularly during the mid1700's till the late 1800's.
This genre takes the form of an autobiography and describes the author's life in details from slavery to liberty.
The slaves' accounts trigger a controversy between advocates and oppositionists and this in a way contributes in making them attractive works to be read and explored by the readers.
Moreover, these tales inspire the coming of generation of African Americans to write the neo-slave narratives as a continuity of the classic bondsmen and women tales.
The fundamental purpose of this article is to point out first the interconnectedness between literature and history through slavery and the different Slave Narratives.
Furthermore, to shed the light on an underrated genre of literature that merits further attention and elaborations to the current audience.
