This study examines the development of freedom practices that materialized in the strategies, philosophies, and pronouncements found in the oral expressions and writings of Lucy Terry, Phillis Wheatley, and Olaudah Equiano. I identify in these authors the origins of freedom practices that were inscribed in the charter generations of Africans in America, whose arrival recorded in 1619, constituted and refined in a brief period of remarkable successful cultural practices. My desire is to connect an often forgotten historical 'generation,' yet important, era of Afro-colonial Americans' initial experiences in the North American colonies and offer, perhaps, an addition way of reading, articulating, and critiquing early African American literature.

520 $a This study examines the development of freedom practices that materialized in the strategies, philosophies, and pronouncements found in the oral expressions and writings of Lucy Terry, Phillis Wheatley, and Olaudah Equiano. I identify in these authors the origins of freedom practices that were inscribed in the charter generations of Africans in America, whose arrival recorded in 1619, constituted and refined in a brief period of remarkable successful cultural practices. My desire is to connect an often forgotten historical 'generation,' yet important, era of Afro-colonial Americans' initial experiences in the North American colonies and offer, perhaps, an addition way of reading, articulating, and critiquing early African American literature.
520 $a In the selected expressions and texts of Afro-Atlantic writers whose share a common history of African birth, Middle Passage, and various experiences in colonial America, I compare and contrast the similarities they share with the initial charter generations of Africans in colonial America. I argue that (1) early Afro-Atlantic writers articulated a keen awareness of their socio-political standing and position in colonial America; (2) They made physical, religious, and philosophical resistance a rhetorical blueprint in their poems, pamphlets, and slave narratives; (3) Afro-Atlantic writers shared an artistic expression that was active, authoritative, and performative, which included an active coexistence and collaboration with white colonial institutions and its people by writing themselves into the legal, social, and religious fabric of colonial American institutions. I illustrate the dynamic artistic expressions that were located within the early African American literary tradition that has its cultural roots firmly grounded in an Afro-colonial experience that includes an African sensibility, a rebellious site of memory that encompasses the Atlantic and Middle Passage along with a cultural grounding of their own everyday experiences in colonial communities.
