xi, 368 pages : illustrations, maps ; 24 cm. Wilma Dunaway contends that studies of the slave family have been flawed by neglect of small plantations and exaggeration of slave agency. Using population trends and slave narratives, she identifies several profit-maximizing strategies that owners implemented to disrupt and endanger African-American families during the Civil War and Reconstruction. Slave trading and forced labor migrations Family diasporas and parenthood lost Malnutrition, ecological risks, and slave mortality Reproductive exploitation and child mortality Slave household subsistence and women's work The impacts of Civil War on slave families The risks of emancipation for black families Reconstruction threats to black family survival Theoretical reprise Wilma A.
