基本説明
Publication delayed (Originally scheduled in February 2006). Taking Jamaica as its locus of study, this book analyzes three debates about slave women in the period 1780-1838, which were central to the competing discourses of slavery and abolition: motherhood, marriage and flogging.
Full Description
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.
