a/b Auto/Biography Studies (Volume 10, Number 2 Fall 1995)

This volume delves into the intricate relationships between race, identity, and narrative, particularly through the lens of women's slave narratives and southern court cases. The contributions from various authors explore themes of racial conviction and the complexities of indeterminate identities, painting a nuanced picture of the historical context and personal experiences that shaped these narratives.

Through a critical examination of both literary and legal texts, the work invites readers to reflect on the intersectionality of race and gender, revealing how these identities inform the storytelling of the past. Each essay offers a unique perspective, creating a rich tapestry of voices that challenge conventional understandings of race and identity within historical frameworks.
