[Edit] 
The slave narrative is a literary form which grew out of the experience of enslaved Africans in Britain and the New World. Some six thousand former slaves from North America and the Caribbean gave an account of their lives during the 18th and 19th centuries, with about 150 published as separate books or pamphlets. There are also slave narratives written by white Americans or Europeans captured and enslaved in North Africa, usually by Barbary pirates.
