Sammendrag
The thesis describes the role of Christianity in the lives of slaves and slave owners in the American South, pointing out the inconsistencies in the ways slave owners manage the tension between their Christian faith and their way of life as slave holders. The case studies are Harriet Jacobs, "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl" and Harriet Wilson's "OUR NIG Sketches from the Life of a Free Black".
