Indian Captivity and Slave Narratives: Contrasts and Similarities
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page overview of the predominant viewpoints expressed in Indian Captivity Narrative and the Slave Narratives, two of the most important types of literature produced during the American colonial period. Contends that while both were concerned with the circumstances of captivity and the ever-present temptation of escape and overall issues of race, these two narrative forms differed in the type of propaganda which they delivered (Been, 2000). Indian captivity narratives, in effect, supported the U.S. government and the mainstream white culture. Slave narratives, on the other hand, were critical of that culture and government. Indian captivity narratives saved their criticism for the Native American peoples who held whites captive. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
