The labor that slaves performed for their own sake and not for the aggrandizement of their masters was carried out on terms of equality. Here are the passages that stuck out to me the most:Įxpediency governed the slaveholders' posture toward female slaves: when it was profitable to exploit them as if they were men, they were regarded, in effect, as genderless, but when they could be exploited, punished and repressed in ways suited only for women, they were locked into their exclusively female roles. Davis is a delight to read: I found myself highlighting fun vocabulary words (gormandizing, vitiates, exigencies, etc.) almost as often as I highlighted horrifying statistics and compelling arguments.īecause this is a 40 year old book I don't think it needs a lengthy review, but suffice it to say that Davis' conclusions about sex, race, and class are just as relevant now as they ever were, and unless you went to a very progressive school, you'll probably learn a few things about slavery and the seeming never-ending, very back-stabby pursuit of equal human rights for all. Angela Davis discusses the historical foundation and intersectionality of the three key ways that people are brutalized by our current sexist, racist, capitalist system: gender, race, and class.
