Résumé,
This work aims at exploring the various forms of oppression inflicted on the blacks during the period of slavery as seen through Ernest J. Gaines's, in The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman. In the course of our study, we intend to throw light on the hard experiences lived by slaves on the plantation.
We therefore expose both physical and psychological pains inflicted on these ill-fated blacks. Furthermore, we try to show the various strategies employed by the slaves to free themselves from this bondage. In this light, we examine the role played by both blcks themselves and the white abolitionists. Therefore, Ernest J. Gaines, in The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman, calls on us, the readers, to feel and understand the painful experience of the brave woman miss Jane Pittman, during slavery and reconstruction period, and her determination to walk through freedom. This study is based on the hypothesis that although oppression is a painful experience, those who live under it always seek for ways of getting freedom.
This freedom cane come with determination and perseverance.
This study therefore deter those who oppress others from maltreating the weak and equally encourages the oppressed to look for ways of liberating themselves.
