Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in History: a bold and searing investigation into the role of white women in the American slave economy "Stunning."--Rebecca Onion, Slate "Makes a vital contribution to our understanding of our past and present."--Parul Sehgal, New York Times "Bracingly revisionist. . . . Historian Stephanie E. [A] startling corrective."--Nicholas Guyatt, New York Review of BooksBridging women's history, the history of the South, and African American history, this book makes a bold argument about the role of white women in American slavery.
Because women typically inherited more slaves than land, Jones-Rogers draws on a variety of sources to show that slave-owning women were sophisticated economic actors who directly engaged in and benefited from the South's slave market.
