I need help on an essay responding to the assignment described below. I'd like a recommendation of a second primary reading and where to find secondary readings. Contain a clear thesis statement that makes an original argument that centers around the use of speculative elements (including, but are not limited to supernatural phenomena, hyperbole, horror, science, fantastic elements and alternative history) in least one primary reading from this course either (BLACK NO MORE) or (A FLIGHT TO CANADA) in addition to a second primary reading in African American literature either from this course, or from another source. Use at least two scholarly resources as secondary materials directly as evidence in making that argument Use direct quotes from both primary and secondary materials in the body of the paper Build the argument in an organized and logical manner Capably use MLA format, including a Works Cited page and in-text citation Meets a minimum word count of 1900 words (roughly 8 pages) Establishing Identity via: Race Literary Approaches to: Racism Responding to Broader Context: Literary Movements

My teacher didn't allowed me to use Uncle Tom, so she told me to use Josiah Henson's narrative and Flight to Canada.  

Your first major decision in working on this paper is to choose the works you will be writing about. If you choose Flight to Canada by Ishmael Reed as the first primary work, then you should consider choosing Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe as the second work. The reason for this is that Reed was explicitly updating and responding to Stowe's work. 
For a thesis, you might argue that the supernatural background to Stowe's work was grounded in her firm belief in Christianity and its redemptive power. Stowe saw Christian faith (and ultimately God) as the path to ending slavery, especially in viewing it as the bulwark of abolitionism. Reed, on the other hand, sees Christianity as part of an oppressive white culture and views recovery of pantheistic Vodoun African religious traditions as part of black identity. 
Two useful secondary sources would be:
Hortense Spillers, “Changing the Letter: The Yokes, the Jokes of Discourse, or, Mrs. Stowe, Mr. Reed,” in Slavery and the Literary Imagination, eds. Deborah E. McDowell and Arnold Rampersad, 1989, pp. 25–61.
Ashraf H. A. Rushdy, “Ishmael Reed's Neo-HooDoo Slave Narrative,” Narrative 2.2 (May 1994): 112–139.
