O'Rourke, David K.: How America's First Settlers Invented Chattel Slavery. Dehumanizing Native Americans and Africans with Language, Laws, Guns, and Religion. New York, Bern, Berlin, Bruxelles, Frankfurt am Main, Oxford, Wien Peter Lang Vlg. 2005. ISBN: 978-0-8204-6814-3
From New England and Virginia to New Spain and the current Southwest, North America's founding householders - English and Spanish alike - took the limited European practice of coerced labor and, over the course of two hundred years, transformed it into a depersonalized and brutal chattel slavery unlike anything that had existed in Europe. What system of language and logic, what visions of religious and civil society, allowed men who saw themselves both as Christians and cultured humanists to dehumanize and enslave people whose cultures and accomplishments were evident to nearly all? In this book we observe the progressive development of a mindset that allowed the settlers to see both Native Americans and Africans as "others" who did not merit human status.

Rand, Naomi R.: Silko, Morrison, and Roth. Studies in Survival. New York, Bern, Berlin, Frankfurt/M., Paris, Wien Peter Lang Vlg. 1999. ISBN: 978-0-8204-3949-5
Ethnic Americans from African America, Jewish American, and Native American backgrounds who attempt to merge with mainstream America face the very obvious problems of historically entrenched racism and anti-Semitism. Three modern American writers, Philip Roth, Leslie Marmon Silko, and Toni Morrison, have chosen a form of narrative that balances a longing for inclusion with a deep-seated anger toward the larger white or, in Roth's case, gentile social structure. This study of six of Silko, Morrison and Roth's longer works focuses on their use of a survival narrative motif as a way of clarifying their ethnic positioning.
