Celebrating Black History Month!
Collective Black Fugitive Practices in
Harriet Jacobs’s "Incidents in the Life
of a Slave Girl"
Eve Eure
Assistant Professor
Department of English
School of Arts and Humanities
Lehman College, CUNY
Thursday, February 4, 2:00pm
Eve Eure will discuss Harriet Jacobs’s slave narrative, the first book-length fugitive slave
narrative to be published by a Black woman in the United States. Focusing on the means
by which Jacobs navigates the legal and social enclosures of slavery, Professor Eure
explores how Jacobs’s text opens possibilities for rethinking notions of kinship,
kinlessness, and Black fugitivity.
