Sexual violence was rampant in slavery. Women were forced to endure repeated rapes, pregnancies, and childbirths. This article deals with antebellum slave narratives that include black women’s testimonies of sexual slavery and explores how an author’s race and gender affect the nature of a narrative’s message. It covers three types of narratives: enslaved men’s narratives, including those authored by William Wells Brown and Frederick Douglass, a woman’s narrative dictated to a white man, Louisa Picquet, the Octoroon: A Tale of Southern Slave Life, and a woman’s self-written narrative, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl. Each provides different tones and contexts. Through the analysis of these narratives, this article redefines enslaved women’s resilience in the face of white violence and violation, despite socio-economic systems that made “sexual coercion” possible.}, pages = {A169--A189}, title = {Within the Rocks, the Rose Still Blooms: Race and Gender in Narratives of Sexual Slavery}, year = {2023} }
