Written as a narrative history of slavery within the United States,
Unrequited Toil details how an institution that seemed to be
disappearing at the end of the American Revolution rose to become
the most contested and valuable economic interest in the nation by
1850. Calvin Schermerhorn charts changes in the family lives of
enslaved Americans, exploring the broader processes of
nation-building in the United States, growth and intensification of
national and international markets, the institutionalization of
chattel slavery, and the growing relevance of race in the politics
and society of the republic. In chapters organized chronologically,
Schermerhorn argues that American economic development relied upon
African Americans' social reproduction while simultaneously
destroying their intergenerational cultural continuity. He explores
the personal narratives of enslaved people and develops themes such
as politics, economics, labor, literature, rebellion, and social
conditions.
