520 "In the current boisterous debate over the relationship
between slavery and capitalism, one subject has been
conspicuously absent: women, both enslaved and free. This
project places women's labor at the center of the
antebellum slave trade, focusing particularly on slave
traders' ability to profit from enslaved women's domestic,
reproductive, and sexual labor. Alexandra J. Finley shows
how women often performed the foundational labor necessary
to the functioning of the slave trade, and thus to the
spread of slavery to the Lower South, the expansion of
cotton production, and the profits accompanying both of
these markets. She makes this argument through five case
studies, each of which highlights a particular woman or
group of women who labored in the slave market. Some of
these women performed domestic labor for slave traders,
sewing outfits for enslaved people about to be sold,
cooking meals for traders traveling to slave markets in
New Orleans, or operating boarding houses where traders
lodged. Many also performed reproductive labor, raising
slave traders' children, giving birth to the future
enslaved workforce, or practicing midwifery. Or they were
chosen as concubines, or "fancy girls." Such women
exemplify the importance of female labor to slave trading,
performing domestic, reproductive, and sexual labor all at
once for the man who enslaved them. In bringing a gendered
perspective to the economic history of slavery, which is
currently missing from the conversation, Finley
demonstrates that women's labor was not "natural" or
incidental to economic development, but a product of
specific discourses about the biological roots of gender
and race"--|cProvided by publisher.
