In Reckoning with Slavery Jennifer L. Morgan draws on the lived
experiences of enslaved African women in the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries to reveal the contours of early modern
notions of trade, race, and commodification in the Black Atlantic.
From capture to transport to sale to childbirth, these women were
demographically counted as commodities during the Middle Passage,
vulnerable to rape, separated from their kin at slave markets, and
subject to laws that enslaved their children upon birth. In this
way, they were central to the binding of reproductive labor with
kinship, racial hierarchy, and the economics of slavery. Throughout
this groundbreaking study, Morgan demonstrates that the development
of Western notions of value and race occurred simultaneously. In so
doing, she illustrates how racial capitalism denied the enslaved
their kinship and affective ties while simultaneously relying on
kinship to reproduce and enforce slavery through enslaved female
bodies.
