In this groundbreaking collection, editors Daina Ramey Berry and
Leslie M. Harris place sexuality at the center of slavery studies
in the Americas (the United States, the Caribbean, and South
America). While scholars have marginalized or simply overlooked the
importance of sexual practices in most mainstream studies of
slavery, Berry and Harris argue here that sexual intimacy
constituted a core terrain of struggle between slaveholders and the
enslaved. These essays explore consensual sexual intimacy and
expression within slave communities, as well as sexual
relationships across lines of race, status, and power. Contributors
explore sexuality as a tool of control, exploitation, and
repression and as an expression of autonomy, resistance, and
defiance.
