Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Violence between women in contemporary Caribbean and American media is explored through the lens of its historical roots in plantation slavery. Amy K. King analyzes various forms of media, including films, novels, and paintings, revealing how they perpetuate stereotypical depictions of women's relationships shaped by the legacy of enslavement. The book delves into complex dynamics among characters, such as enslavers and enslaved women, highlighting the challenges they face in envisioning non-abusive power structures. King's study uniquely addresses the intersections of gender, race, and class in these narratives.
