Henrice Altink 
Representations of Slave Women in Discourses on Slavery and Abolition, 1780–1838 [EPUB ebook] 

This book analyzes textual representations of Jamaican slave women in three contexts–motherhood, intimate relationships, and work–in both pro- and antislavery writings. Altink examines how British abolitionists and pro-slavery activists represented the slave women to their audiences and explains not only the purposes that these representations served, but also their effects on slave women’s lives.
