adam_text | THE GRATEFUL SLAVE
The figure of the grateful slave, devoted to his or her master in thanks
for kind treatment, is ubiquitous in eighteenth-century writing on
slavery and in literary works from Daniel Defoe s Colonel Jack
(1722)
to Maria Edgeworth s The Grateful Negro
(1804).
Yet this important
trope, linked with discourses that tried to justify racial oppression,
slavery, and colonialism, has been overlooked in eighteenth-century
literary research. Challenging previous accounts of the relationship
between sentiment and slavery, George Boulukos shows how the
image of the grateful slave contributed to colonial practices of white
supremacy in the later eighteenth century. Seemingly sympathetic to
slaves, the trope actually undermines their cause and denies their
humanity by showing African slaves as willingly accepting their
condition. Taking in literary sources as well as texts on colonialism
and slavery, Boulukos offers a fresh account of the development of
racial difference, and of its transadantic dissemination, in the eighteenth-
century English-speaking world.
GEORGE boulukos is Assistant Professor of English at Southern
Illinois University, Carbondale.
