Positioning African American slave narrative discourses in Wolves of the Crescent Moon

Research output: Contribution to journal › Review article › peer-review

Abstract

This paper examines Wolves of the Crescent Moon in order to centralize the subaltern voice of the slave narrator and illuminate the intersection between slavery and freedom underpinning the text narrative. The paper also explores the author's attempt to reconstruct thematic and aesthetic motifs latent in African-American slave narratives in order to engage Arabic-Islamic slavery unknown in modern western canons.
