This work aims at examining the racial injustice that blackslave women endured in South America in Brown's Clotel ; Or, The President's Daughter, especially in the white plantations during the slave period.  Il articulates the fact that the laws and the Christian religion collaborated to foster their bondage.  It shows the effects of the racially based behavior of slaveholders on both the physical and psychological states of black slaves.  It extends to analyze the sadism of whites in showing how colored people and particularty black slave women got dehumanized by the system of domination.  This work goes ahead and points out how the Christian belief constituted  the means for whites to justify the exploitation of black slave women as a convincing stheory to rely on.  It equally examines the struggle of these black slaves to free themselves from the wicked system.  Written against the background of feminists, the work settled on the note that Brown's Clotel may represent a lot of black women in America sulfeing from oppression and racial discrimination.  Writen against the background of New Historicism Theory, this work stands on the hypothetical contention that though the black slave women were submitted to various racial injustices, they did not give up they strggled with the hope to be free one day
