Description for Gender and Slave Emancipation in the Atlantic World
Paperback. A comparative perspective on the way ideas of gender relations and identities shaped the struggle over resources, cultural practices, and political rights that followed the end of slavery in the Atlantic world Editor(s): Scully, Pamela; Paton, Diana. Num Pages: 392 pages, 1 map. BIC Classification: 1H; 1KL; HBJK; HBLL; HBTS; JFSJ1. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 5969 x 3963 x 23. Weight in Grams: 572.
This groundbreaking collection provides the first comparative history of gender and emancipation in the Atlantic world. Bringing together essays on the United States, Brazil, Cuba, Puerto Rico, West Africa and South Africa, and the Francophone and Anglophone Caribbean, it shows that emancipation was a profoundly gendered process, produced through connections between race, gender, sexuality, and class. Contributors from the United States, Canada, Europe, the Caribbean, and Brazil explore how the processes of emancipation involved the re-creation of gender identities—the production of freedmen and freedwomen with different rights, responsibilities, and access to citizenship.
