Both Laila Lalamis The Moors Account (2014) and Martin Delanys Blake (1859-62) are historical fictions. Lalamis novel retells the Narvez expedition and the subsequent wanderings of the surviving members, all of which took place from 1528-1536, from Mustafas perspective. Delanys novel takes readers a little less than a decade back in time to the early 1850s to portray Henrys liberatory struggles in the US and Cuba and to grapple with the momentous issues facing the author as he composed his work.

In this essay, I want you to compare how the two authors use history to advance the political and cultural messages in their novels. What is history to these authors? What is the connection between history and memory? What emerges from these reimaginings? Can new histories be forged? Can one escape history? You need not answer all of the above questions. Instead, I want you to use this prompt to launch a focused, comparative analysis of these two historical projects.

Your final essay should offer a thesisor single overarching argument. Use close readings of the text to support your argument. This essay should be thoughtfully organized, and the prose should be revised for clarity, concision, and grammatical correctness. The word count is between 800 and 1200 words, and the essay should be double-spaced and written below.
