But as the history of African-Americans is an inseparable part of American history, contemporary slave narratives or neo-slave narratives correct and complete the general record of American history at the same time.

The novels of contemporary American authors of African descent appear to aim, first and foremost, at the documentation or re-creation of the history of slavery from an African-American viewpoint. But as the history of African-Americans is an inseparable part of American history, contemporary slave narratives or neo-slave narratives correct and complete the general record of American history at the same time. Neo-slave narratives, in fact, make a significant contribution to establish African-American documents, such as slave narratives, as authentic, reliable, and trustworthy historical sources. Each neo-slave narrative contributes to the documentation of the African-American past and the cultural heritage of African Americans. The focus of this book is how authors of neo-slave narratives attempt to explore one central difficulty in this undertaking: the freeing of the voice or perspective of African-Americans, an aspect that is closely related to the discussion of authenticity and reliability of documents of slaves.
