“All good books have one thing in common – they are truer than if they had really happened.” -Ernest Hemingway

Synopsis

Contested Bodies explores how the end of the transatlantic trade impacted Jamaican slaves and their children. Examining the struggles for control over biological reproduction, Turner shows how central childbearing was to the organization of plantation work, the care of slaves, and the development of their culture.
