Abstract: | Mende Nazer’s Slave depicts a grim and awful picture of a slave girl and honest rendition of her experiences as brightly as the beaming light of the day. Though the slavery existed in the past in various forms, it is a groundbreaking fact to record the history of slavery in the recent era i. e. at the time when slavery has been outlawed from the soil of world legally and formally. It also suggests that the truth of slavery has been fictionalized and given a subjective twist to the reality by co-writer Damien Lewis. It has visualized the grim picture in details of the experience of a slave girl. A sense of awareness, feud between the groups, tussle between rich and poor are common issues in the novel. In this sense, the researcher’s claim has been justified. The novel accommodates an honest rendition of the experience of a young Sudanese girl and unfolds a new definition of slavery through the experience of a slave writer in the twenty-first century against the background of previous slave history of Nineteenth and Twentieth century. |
