Description

Specializing in South Carolina, Emily West deals in an instant with probably the most intimate spaces of the slave revel in together with courtship, love and affection between spouses, the abuse of slave ladies by white men, and the devastating consequences of forced separations. Slaves fought these separations via cross-gender bonding and cross-plantation marriages, illustrating West’s thesis about slave marriage as a fierce supply of resistance to the oppression of slavery generally.
