Title: Neo-slave narratives
First published: 1999
Description: "This book studies the political, social, and cultural content of a particular literary form - the novel of slavery cast as a first-person slave narrative.

After discerning the social and historical factors surrounding its first appearance in the 1960s, Neo-Slave Narratives explores the complex relationship between nostalgia and critique, while asking how African American intellectuals at different points between 1976 and 1990 remember and use the site of slavery to represent cultural debates that arose during the sixties."--BOOK JACKET.
