Produktbeschreibung

Taking Jamaica as its focus of study, this book analyzes three debates about slave women in the period 1780-1838 that were central to the competing discourses of slavery and abolition: motherhood, marriage, and flogging. This title also examines how British abolitionists and pro-slavery activists represented the slave women to their audiences.
