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.Book chapter2-s2.0-85047554502ControlledPUB0201089707
