My question is whether Flory's Burmese servant Ko S'la, who reminds me, to some extent, of the figure of the house slave (or the mammy figure) in the African-American racial economy, belongs to a comparable model of selflessly devoted servant in Anglo-Indian literature? Thanks in advance. Regards, Nalin --part1_51.1a20ba07.29b6f234_boundary
