Harriet Jacob’s, in her book Incidents in the Life of Slave Girl, carefully unmasks the realities of slave culture in Virginia and throughout the south. Within her narrative, Jacobs, through the character personae Linda Brent, recounts the happenings of the twenty years of her life that she spent enslaved to Dr. Flint. The social and cultural overtones of Jacob’s narrative are mutli-dimensional. This essay is thus purposed to neatly unravel the dynamics of relationship by identifying the impacts of slave/ master relations on slave kinship social relations and gender relations.
