History of slavery, and in particular, the experiences of enslaved women. We already had a chance to look at the case of Harriet Jacobs, one of the best remembered of the slave narratives. There, jacobs introduced us, if you will, to that dimension of slavery that is exemplified, and we might say central to the experience of slave women, and that is sexual violence. We will come back a little bit to talk about jacobs in comparison to our case today, that of celia. We also looked at the wpa narratives, and one of the things we noticed about those narratives was the extent to which some issues, including sexual violence, violence generally, and sexual violence, in particular, was rather muted in the slave narratives.

So, why do i say try to see this dimension of slavery . As you have all begun to see in your readings for today, there are ma

As you have all begun to see in your readings for today, there are many ways in which the record and the evidence upon which we rely to discover, explore, and understand the case of celia is a challenging record to make use of. So part of our work today will be to talk about the evidence in the celia case, how it is we recover from what is in essence the record of a trial a rather fragmentary, carefully
