African Americans have historically used a variety of narrative forms in order to offers opposition to the entrenched nature of social inequality in the United States. These forms include autobiographies, novels, and advocacy essays that collectively share the effect of causing mainstream white society to question its racist assumptions and, in so doing, the legitimacy of the legal statutes that served to oppress people of color. This examination of several examples of African American literature demonstrates that each narrative form served to advance the cause of equality and social justice for black Americans.
