摘要:The paper argues that the slave history writing is not only the concern of historians but also of creative writers. The slave narratives are one of the examples of such writings. The African American writers at present are more interested in the subject of black voices against slavery. Toni Morrison’s novels of slavery use experiences of horrors in slavery as a door to history remembered. For instance, she uses “rememory” in her two novels, Beloved and A Mercy , to describe the process of remembering what has been forgotten. She, thus, uses these novels in remembering slavery in literature.
