Laboring Women: Reproduction and Gender in New World Slavery by Jennifer L. Morgan is a groundbreaking work that explores the intersection of race, gender, and reproduction in the context of slavery in the Americas. Morgan examines the experiences of enslaved women across different regions and time periods, shedding light on the ways in which their bodies were exploited for the purpose of reproduction. Through a meticulous analysis of archival sources, Morgan demonstrates how enslaved women's reproductive capacities were central to the economic and social systems of slavery, as their ability to bear children was essential for the perpetuation of the slave labor force. She also highlights the ways in which slave owners and overseers exerted control over enslaved women's reproductive lives, often subjecting them to brutal forms of violence and exploitation. By centering the experiences of enslaved women, Laboring Women challenges traditional narratives of slavery that have often overlooked or marginalized the voices of women. Morgan's work not only provides a more nuanced understanding of the complex dynamics of power and resistance within the institution of slavery but also contributes to broader conversations about the intersections of race, gender, and reproductive justice in the Americas. With its rich insights and compelling analysis, Laboring Women is a vital contribution to the field of early American studies and an essential read for anyone interested in the history of slavery, gender, and reproduction.
