The New Slave Narrative: The Battle Over Representations of Contemporary Slavery
Murphy, Laura (Assistant Professor, Loyola University)
Laura T. Murphy argues that the slave narrative has reemerged as a twenty-first-century genre that has gained new currency in the context of the memoir boom, post-9/11 anti-Islamic sentiment, and conservative family-values politics. The New Slave Narrative reveals an emergent survivor-centered counterdiscourse of collaboration and systemic change.
