Voices of Reticence, Desire, and Resistance in The History of Mary Prince , A West Indian Slave Related by Herself...
Le Simplegadi, Iss 22, Pp 48-64 (2022)
The essay proposes a re-assessment of the multiple speaking voice in The History of Mary Prince , a West Indian Slave Related by Herself (1831), the memoir of an Afro-descendant woman who lived most of her life as a slave in the British West Indies. The argument revolves around issues of authorship, agency, and authenticity, which will be first examined in relation to Gayatri Spivak’s concept of the invisibility of the female subaltern subject – the latter flexibly wavering in the text between presence and absence. Secondly, these issues and the narrator’s related discourses of resistance and resilience will be investigated through Deleuze and Guattari’s anti-Freudian paradigm of desire and body politic.

College Literature. Fall2009, Vol. 36 Issue 4, p75-99. 25p.
In "Beyond 'Authenticity': Migration and the Epistemology of 'Voice' in Mary Prince's 'History of Mary Prince ' and Maryse Condé's 'I, Tituba,'" I suggest that the idea of "authenticity," often deployed in feminist and postcolonial readings of women's narratives, is too narrow a construct to be as productive in literary scholarship as it has been assumed. A parallel claim is that Mary Prince's 1831 slave narrative offers a historical precedent and maintains a contemporary textual precedent in 20th-century diasporic texts like Maryse Condé's 1986 neo-slave narrative "I, Tituba," "Black Witch of Salem." In both of these narratives, "authenticity" is obscured as migration and travel profoundly shape women's identity politics. Much of the scholarly criticism that surrounds these texts, however, often presents both Prince and Tituba as independent, speaking subjects, each with a "true voice." Such criticism, while well-intended in its attempt to offer and recuperate liberating presentations of women's "voices," maintains singular and limited understandings of a monolithic "black" or "female" experience.

Plotting the Plantationocene with The History of Mary Prince
ABO : Interactive Journal for Women in the Arts 1640-1830, Vol 13, Iss 1 (2023)
In this essay, I consider how The History of Mary Prince , A West Indian Slave , Related by Herself (1831) extends vital affordances for assembling a literary history of ecological rupture, settler colonialism, and transatlantic slavery. These insights arise from my experiences teaching Prince in “Plotting the Plantationocene in Early Atlantic Literature” (Fall 2021), a course which took up what it means to orient to historical formations of climate change as co-emergent with plantation systems. I argue that my students explored how figures like Prince open politically vibrant pathways for being in the world otherwise to plantation modernity.
