en-wikipedia-org-5533		The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	5915	647	78	To combat these accusations, Equiano includes a set of letters written by white people who "knew me when I first arrived in England, and could speak no language but that of Africa."[4] In his article, Preface to Blackness: Text and Pretext[5] Henry Louis Gates Jr. discusses the use of prefaces by black authors to humanize their being, which in turn made their work credible. Originally published in 1789, The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, or Gustavus Vass, The African, played a large role in "[altering] public opinion" towards the slave trade in Britain. Paul Edwards edited The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, Or Gustavus Vassa, The African, in 1967 and sparked further debate about the validity of the story's origins.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-5533.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-5533.txt
