Although there are in China few researches on Charles Johnson, there has been a great deal of attention on both his fiction and non-fiction works which are attracting more and more American scholars. Among his four novels, Oxherdingtale and Middle Passage, in the form of the “neo-slave narrative”, are the main attractions for scholars, with the latter more well-known and popular because of its representation of the author’s more mature craftsmanship. Up till now, there have been 8 monographs on his four novels and more than 40 journal articlesexclusivelyon Middle Passage. Since Middle Passage is generally considered as both a “black philosophical fiction” and “neo-slave narrative”, scholarship focuses mainly on its philosophical,cultural, and politicalimplications and the author’s literary innovations.
