The forces that shaped the institution of slavery in the American
South endured, albeit in altered form, long after slavery was
abolished. Toiling in sweltering Virginia tobacco factories or in
the kitchens of white families in Chicago, black women felt a
stultifying combination of racial discrimination and sexual
prejudice. And yet, in their efforts to sustain family ties, they
shared a common purpose with wives and mothers of all classes.
In "Labor of Love, Labor of Sorrow," historian Jacqueline Jones
offers a powerful account of the changing role of black women,
lending a voice to an unsung struggle from the depths of slavery to
the ongoing fight for civil rights.
