Abstract
[Extract] In both literary and historiographic terms, the question of the slave revolution is more complicated to consider in an American context than that of the slave narrative. Whereas slave narratives characteristically involve a form of self-authentication, the explicit bravado of a protagonist declaring himself (or herself) to be free, slave rebellions more frequently involved subterfuge, disguise, the concealment of intentions.
