They Were Her Property by Stephanie E Jones-Rogers, 2019, Yale University Press
::THIS IS THE AA GROUP, PLEASE RESPECT THIS::
I've had this book on my wish list for a couple of months, all the Miss Karening finally pushed me to buy it.
From Professor Jones-Rogers wiki page -"Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers is an American historian. She is an Associate Professor of History at the University of California, Berkeley,[1] and the author of They Were Her Property: White Women as Slave Owners in the American South.[2] She is an expert in African-American history, the history of American slavery, and women’s and gender history."
Snip--" Her first book was published in 2019 by Yale University Press.[10] They Were Her Property challenges previous depictions of white antebellum women as only minimally involved in the institution of slavery, onlookers to male relatives' active practice of enslaving African-Americans.[11] Jones-Rogers draws on court records and oral histories to show the active role white women play in enslavement, both on a day-to-day basis and in the buying and selling of slaves,[12] for their personal economic gain.[13][14] Jones-Rogers demonstrates that white women exercised extraordinary control over the enslaved people in their households and had a deep economic investment in slavery.[15] The book was described as 'scrupulous', 'focused', and 'crisp'.[16]"
