In this book, Amy K. King examines how violence between women in
contemporary Caribbean and American texts is rooted in plantation
slavery. Analyzing films, television shows, novels, short stories,
poems, book covers, and paintings, King shows how contemporary
media reuse salacious and stereotypical depictions of relationships
between women living within the plantation system to confront its
legacy in the present. The vestiges of these
relationships--enslavers and enslaved women, employers and domestic
servants, lovers and rivals--negate characters' efforts to imagine
non-abusive approaches to power and agency. King's work goes beyond
any other study to date to examine the intersections of gender,
sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, ability, and nationality in U.S.
and Caribbean depictions of violence between women in the wake of
slavery.
