Beskrivning
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.

Recensioner i media
'Altink has provided a useful study that delves into the interplay of race, gender, and rhetoric as well as how these factors combined to initially uphold, but ultimately subvert, the slave system in Jamaica. In the process, she has contributed to a growing body of literature on slave women.'– Journal of American Ethnic History
