This book focuses on alternative types of slave narratives,
especially courtroom testimony, and interrogates how such
narratives were produced, the societies (both those that were
majority slave societies and those in which slaves were a distinct
minority of the population) in which testimony was permitted, and
the meanings that can be attached to such narratives. The chapters
in this book provide valuable information about the everyday
lives-including the inner and spiritual lives-of enslaved African
American and Native American individuals in the British and French
Atlantic World, from Canada to the Caribbean. It explores slave
testimony as a form of autobiographical narrative, and in ways that
allow us to foreground enslaved persons' lived experience as
expressed in their own words.
