Abstract

The article aims at proving the strong link between slavery writing and the issue of a moving identity, based on the violent uprooting of captives taken away from their native land. The study has established, based on historical data and postcolonial theories, that slavery writing is not only the negativation of the black person, but also a way of questioning the otherness brought about by mobility, relocation and the heterotopia of crisis.
