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.

Other essays and articles in the Literature Archives related to this topic include : Women, Colonization& Cultural Change in “Things Fall Apart” by Chinua Achebe • Comparison of Tragic Characters in Things Fall Apart and Oedipus the King • Comparison Essay on Things Fall Apart and My Antonia

The

novel “Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe, while often thought to

offer readers an accurate portrait of Igbo or African culture in

general, often does not effectively represent the culture it seeks to

portray. More generally, one of the challenges of the fiction genre, and

of the frequent criticisms lodged against it, is the manner in which

history, people, and place are integrated into the narrative. Writing a

fictive narrative that is based on real people, places, and events poses

some inherent dangers, not the least of which is the possibility of

inaccurate or partial representation of Igbo culture.

This is particularly true for novelists who are writing about

non-Western cultures for Western audiences. Such is the case in “Things

Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe, in which the author writes about members

of a Nigerian tribe.

Thanks
