Abstract

In the book review titled "Reckoning with Slavery: Gender, Kinship and Capitalism in the Early Black Atlantic" by Jennifer L. Morgan, the author explores the role of enslaved women and their children in the rise of slavery and capitalism in the Atlantic. The book examines the intersections of gender, kinship, and capitalism, particularly in relation to maritime history. It challenges long-held assumptions and highlights the limitations of archival evidence, emphasizing the importance of considering the experiences of enslaved women. The book provides valuable insights for researchers interested in the history of slavery, capitalism, and the Atlantic World. [Extracted from the article]
