Answer:

He characterized the American Negro Slave as unique of all the black slaves of the world because his identity was impossible to trace unlike the other slaves like the Haitians who could trace their origin to some African kings.

Explanation:

James Baldwin in Paragraph 17 of his essay, 'Stranger in the Village', mentioned that the American Negro Slave was unique of all the black slaves in the world because while the other Slaves could still trace their identities down to somewhere, the American Negro Slave could only trace his identity to the bill of sale which was the entrance paper of his forebears into the American society.

Some Haitians could trace their origin to some African kings but that was quite difficult for an American Negro slave to do. Thus, came his search for his identity within the American society.

Which character from American born Chinese experiences a character arc over the course of the novel?
serg [7]

The correct answer is "B: Danny".

"American Born Chinese" is divided into 3 tales.

The third tale narrates the story of Danny. An American white boy who is visited every year by his Chinese cousin Chin-Kee. Due to Chin-Kee's use of numerous stereotypes regarding American culture, he is often bothered by his visits.

It is later revealed that Danny is actually a character in the second tale named Jin Wang. Jin Wang decided to "transform" into Danny because he considered that being Jin Wang would prevent him from pursuing a girl he liked.

In the end, Chin-Kee reveals himself as "The Monkey King" from the first tale. Chin-Kee presents himself to Danny in order to remind him of his origins and accept himself as it is.
