Content:
This book analyzes textual representations of Jamaican slave women in three contexts--motherhood, intimate relationships, and work--in both pro- and antislavery writings. Altink examines how British abolitionists and pro-slavery activists represented the slave women to their audiences and explains not only the purposes that these representations served, but also their effects on slave women's lives.
Note:
Belly women : slave women's childbirth practices -- Pickeniny mummas : slave women's childrearing practices -- Deviant and dangerous : slave women's sexuality -- Till death do us part? : slave wives and slave husbands -- The indecency of the lash -- Slavery by another name.
