In Lawrence Hill’s wonderfully written fictional slave narrative, Someone Knows My Name, the protagonist exhibits similar proof on my flesh of slavery’s barbarity. But to do so, she must face her audience. The evidence Aminata Diallo has to offer is inscribed above her breast, the enslaved female body instantly sexualized. To have a name is to have an identity, one reason slaves were renamed by their captors.
