Abstract
Charles Johnson'sMiddle Passageis a classical slave narrative which reveals the story of
Allmuseries on the ship. Allmuseri is a minor community of blacks in America who are in search
of their culture, root, identity and freedom from whites' influences. Afro-Americans search their
identity and freedom through their history. Rutherford Calhoun's journey makes him successful
to liberate all the blacks from the slavery and domination of whites. By reminding their inspiring
history, Johnson wants to show a possibility of theirfreedom from the whites influences and
cultural intervention in America.
