Requests:  0 Summary:  "Bridging 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. Historian Stephanie E. 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. Because women typically inherited more slaves than land, enslaved people were often their primary source of wealth. Not only did white women often refuse to cede ownership of their slaves to their husbands, they employed management techniques that were as effective and brutal as those used by slave-owning men. White women actively participated in the slave market, profited from it, and used it for economic and social empowerment. By examining the economically entangled lives of enslaved people and slave-owning women, Jones-Rogers presents a narrative that forces us to rethink the economics and social conventions of slaveholding America"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 306.36209 Jo Checked out 05/16/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.36209 Jones-Rogers Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 306.36209 Jo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.36209 Jo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.36209 Jo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.36209 Jo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.36209 Jo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.36209 Jo Lost 10/31/2023 Add Copy to MyList
