Although alike in their depiction of the racial injustice experienced by African Americans in United States society, The Street and Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl differ in terms of the existential methods attached to the narratives of the protagonists, and the relationship between the employment of these methods and the experiences of these characters and their community.
