Olaudah Equiano, written by himself: The Interesting Narrative

Article Abstract:

The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, or Gustavus Vassa, the African written by him is a trauma narrative, narrated by a former slave. The trials and tribulations faced by Equiano lead him to the conclusion that to be African in an world that allows slavery is to be vulnerable, the point made being that whites are evil but that slavery as an institution dehumanizes the enslaver as much as the slave.
