Ursin Slavery as a Site of Memory: Interracial Intersubjectivity in the Historical Novels of Sherley Anne Williams, Caryl Phillips and Edward P. Jones 2008 .txt text/plain 243 7 20 Depicting an intersubjective experience of slavery through the foregrounding of mutually constitutive relationships, these novels critique the way contemporary social, cultural and political debates are invested in one-dimensional models of racial interaction. Rather than reinforce strict racial divisions or, conversely, suggest that the nation is somehow 'beyond' race, I contend that Williams, Phillips, and Jones advocate 'working through' slavery at the level of a shared narrative history. cache/h702q526s68.txt txt/h702q526s68.txt
