That is, the problem of essentializing a people, and defining each group by the other. And then there's the problem of categorization itself--whether women are 'saints' or 'devils' we saw that there are still problems with the categorization, and I wonder if Equiano might be falling into that trap here. Also, it'd be interesting to think more about the book itself--there has long been a debate about whether the book is 'true' or not, one that reflects on a number of these issues.S Henklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10893192932580925482noreply@blogger.com
