Introducing my 11th grade American Literature/Contemporary Composition students to challenging literary works of varying genres helps to prepare them for the rigors of college courses. One of the genres I would like to introduce them to is the neo-slave narrative, a fictional mutation of the autobiographies of 19th century Americans who lived as slaves, which we will read in conjunction with Frederick Douglass's classic autobiography.
