you read excerpts from OlaudahEquiano'sThe Interesting Narrative of the Life of OlaudahEquianoor GusavusVassa, The African, Written by Himself(1789).
For this response, I'd like you to consider Equiano'sAfrican identity and his British identity. Where in the autobiography isEquiano'sblackness apparent? Do you see instances of his "whiteness" or appropriation of English culture/customs? Does Equianoever appear to be in crisis over his identity (identities)? What is Equiano'spurpose/agenda in crafting his autobiography?
Please quote from the text using MLA style (citing the page # in parentheses after a quote) as evidence to prove your mini-arguments.
