KARI J. WINTER is a professor of American studies at the State University of New York at Buffalo. She is the author of Subjects of Slavery, Agents of Change: Women and Power in Gothic Novels and Slave Narratives, 1790–1865 (Georgia) and editor of The Blind African Slave: Or Memoirs of Boyrereau Brinch, Nicknamed Jeffrey Brace.

In juxtaposing slave narratives and gothic novels, Winter does not erase difference; instead she provocatively details ‘the social ordering of power’ in ways that illuminate the boundaries of genre, race, and nation.
