Today we continue our second unit by turning to our excerpt from Olaudah Equiano’s Interesting Narrative. We’ll not only discuss the specifics related in Equiano’s story, but also consider its anti-slavery politics in relation to questions of captivity and freedom raised in Crevecoeur’s, Franklin’s, Rowlandson’s, and Native American texts.
