RESUMO

A study of motherhood as a recurrent theme in African American Literature in the last three centuries and this may be seen in the words of Harriet Jacobs and Maya Angelou. In their autobiographical works, respectively, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl and I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, the authors place their marginalized black female self in the center of their own experience and revisit their past memories. By doing so, they narrate stories that transcend their own and voice the double jeopardized black women whose testimonies were excluded from official History and suffocated by the literary canon.
