Abstract of Paper to be Presented at Accio 2008

'Slaves No More': The Harry Potter Series as Postcolonial Slave Narrative

Susan Howard

The paper draws parallels between famed slave narratives like The Life of Frederick Douglass, the sentimental slave novel, Our Nig, the American and British slave trades and the climactic events in the Harry Potter series that address cross-cultural contact and the rights of the individual to remain free or to be liberated.
