The Freedom to Remember examines contemporary literary revisions of slavery in the United States by black women writers. The narratives at the center of this book include: Octavia E. Butlers Kindred, Sherley Anne Williamss Dessa Rose, Toni Morrisons Beloved, J. California Coopers Family, and Lorene Carys The Price of a Child.Recent studies have investigated these works only from the standpoint of victimization. Angelyn Mitchell changes the conceptualization of these narratives, focusing on the theme of freedom, not slavery, defining these works as liberatory narratives. These works create a space to problematize the slavery/freedom dichotomy from which contemporary black women writers have the safe vantage point to reveal aspects of enslavement that their ancestors could not examine. The nineteenthcentury female emancipatory narrative, by contrast, was written to aid the cause of abolition by revealing the unspeakable realitiesof slavery. Mitchell shows how the liberatory narrative functions to emancipate its readers from the legacies of slavery in American society: by facilitating a deeper discussion of the issues and by making them new through illumination and interrogation.
