Using data on population trends and slave narratives, Dunaway identifies several profit-maximizing strategies that owners implemented to disrupt and endanger African-American families. These effective strategies include forced labor migrations, structural interference in marriages and childcare, sexual exploitation of women, shortfalls in provision of basic survival needs, and ecological risks. This book is unique in its examination of new threats to family persistence that emerged during the Civil War and Reconstruction.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"African-American Family in Slavery and Emancipation | Wilma A Dunaway | Book | 9780521012164 | Used: Very Good | Sociology 1424525","offer_id":48864284442776,"sku":"1424525","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/51AgejCHJ4L.jpg?v=1775851686","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/african-american-family-in-slavery-and-emancipation","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
