Creole testimoniesslave narratives from the British West Indies, 1709-1838 /[electronic resource] :Nicole N. Aljoe. - 1st ed. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,2012. - 1 online resource (xii, 185 p.) - The new urban Atlantic.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Introduction: "So much things to say": the Creole testimonies of British West Indian slaves -- The forms of Creole testimony: a poetics of fragmentation -- The Creole voices of West Indian slave narratives -- "Going to law" : legal discourse and testimony in early West Indian slave narratives -- Zombie testimony: Creole religious discourse in West Indian slave narratives -- Conclusion: Creole testimony and the Black Atlantic: re-mapping the early slave narrative.

This study analyzes the relationships among the socio-historical contexts, generic forms, and rhetorical strategies of British West Indian slave narratives. Grounded by the syncretic theories of creolisation and slave narrative form, Nicole Aljoe breaks new ground by reading these dictated and often fragmentary narratives on their own terms as examples of "creole testimony.
