Reviews
Emily West's comprehensive analysis of the lives of enslaved women in North America from the colonial period through Emancipation and the Reconstruction Amendments skilfully links these women's experiences over time through their shared experience of suffering, exploitation, and strategies of survival. Weaving a wealth of primary sources into a thoughtful and sensitive analysis, this book is a must read for students of American slavery., West examines the experiences of enslaved African American women from the 16th-century African slave trade to the 19th-century Reconstruction era. Part of the publisher's African American History Series, this text synthesizes numerous valuable details about slave women's experiences while still being concise enough not to overwhelm nonexperts. Significant to the book is the explication of women's social and cultural experiences, including their familial and labor expectations. West also carefully weaves in elements of the political and economic climate in order to illustrate how local as well as national forces played a role in the average bondwoman's life. In addition to the detailed narrative, also significant is the inclusion of select primary sources that demonstrate the true experiences of enslaved women by those who underwent and witnessed them. Ideal for collections in US history, women's history, and the history of American slavery, or for average readers who want to truly understand the experiences of enslaved American women of the past. Summing Up: Recommended.

And not to be overlooked, the primary documents section includes a number of well-chosen WPA interviews: they are vivid material for lively class discussions." -- Journal of Southern History "Emily West's comprehensive analysis of the lives of enslaved women in North America from the colonial period through Emancipation and the Reconstruction Amendments skilfully links these women's experiences over time through their shared experience of suffering, exploitation, and strategies of survival.

With examples of primary sources and an informative bibliographic essay this book will be the starting point for all those interested in the female slave experience in North America." --Timothy Lockley, University of Warwick "This boldly-conceived and ambitious work demonstrates the crucial significance of gendered relationships as a central dynamic in the slave experience. Unmatched in its chronological breadth and insightful in its analysis, this compelling narrative will captivate students, academics, and all those who seek to understand American slavery and the lives of those whose labour was of seminal importance in the creation of America." --Laura Sandy, Keele University "West's engaging introduction to women's experience of slavery in the U.S. tells us why gender matters to the study of slavery's history, how women's experiences changed over time, and how enslaved women hastened the end of slavery during the Civil War. Enslaved Women in America offers an excellent guide to this complex and rich history, and includes a welcome selection of interviews and memoirs that allow us to see the past from the perspective of those who lived through it. I highly recommend this book." --Leslie Schwalm, University of Iowa "This timely examination covers enormous ground in tracing the historical experiences of female slaves from West Africa to the Deep South over the entirety of their captivity in North America. Emily West draws out the dual exploitation of enslaved women as workers and reproducers in succinct and authoritative prose suitable for all readers." --David Brown, University of Manchester, This timely examination covers enormous ground in tracing the historical experiences of female slaves from West Africa to the Deep South over the entirety of their captivity in North America.

Synopsis
More than a century after Emancipation, no comprehensive overview of the history of the female American slave exists. In this book, historian Emily West offers the first comprehensive overview of the lives of enslaved women in America by placing their stories within the broader context of slavery in this country from the colonial era through to the end of the Civil War. She compares the lives of enslaved women with the lives of enslaved men from the same period, and with the white men and women who unjustly held them in bondage. West's thorough research and eye for detail construct a narrative of the enslaved woman's life, giving voice to and revealing the significance of a singularly strong but largely overlooked member of early American society., In this book, historian Emily West offers the first comprehensive overview of the lives of enslaved women in America by placing their stories within the broader context of slavery in this country from the colonial era through to the end of the Civil War.

- r***g (244)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaBook was "nearly new" and "as described" in listing. The advertised price was fair and a good value. Unfortunately, the seller's shipping partner was very slow to get the book packaged and shipped. Shipping took too long, and the tracking info gave no reliable info on shipping date, time in transit or expected delivery. Seller did everything right, but their shipping partner needs improvement. I recommend this seller to other eBay buyers....... just make sure you're okay with the shipping terms.
- e***u (283)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaThe listing was for a hardcover version of this book; however, I received a paperback. The Seller replied quickly to my question about this issue and issued a full refund - and let me keep the book. So, a diligent Seller for sure - and well packaged and reasonable timing on shipping. Thank you for the refund, and as you suggested, I'll likely donate this volume and seek the hardcover.
- a***a (419)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaThis 2DVD set is in perfect condition. Cover art and case like new. Both DVDs played with no flaws. Description was listed as “Good”; I would describe it as “Very Good”, basically Like New. Delivery was super fast and packaging was excellent. The DVD case was wrapped well, then put in a cardboard envelope that was sturdy and hard to open (this is NOT a negative!). I have purchased from this company a few times and have always been very satisfied. Prices are great.
