Out of the House of Bondage: The Transformation of the Plantation Household
Glymph, Thavolia (Duke University, North Carolina)
This book views the plantation household as a site of production where competing visions of gender were wielded as weapons in class struggles between black and white women. Mistresses were powerful beings in the hierarchy of slavery, and Glymph challenges previous depictions of mistresses as 'friends' and 'allies' of slaves.
