DESCRIPTION:Sexual Violence and American Slavery – The Making of Rape Cul
 ture in the Antebellum South by Shannon Eaves\n\nBook Description: It is i
 mpossible to separate histories of sexual violence and the enslavement of 
 Black women in the antebellum South. Rape permeated the lives of all who e
 xisted in that system: Black and white\, male and female\, adult and child
 \, enslaved and free. Shannon C. Eaves unflinchingly investigates how both
  enslaved people and their enslavers experienced the systematic rape and s
 exual exploitation of bondswomen and came to understand what this culture 
 of sexualized violence meant for themselves and others.\n\nEaves mines a w
 ealth of primary sources including autobiographies\, diaries\, court recor
 ds\, and more to show that rape and other forms of sexual exploitation ent
 angled slaves and slave owners in battles over power to protect oneself an
 d one’s community\, power to avenge hurt and humiliation\, and power to 
 punish and eliminate future threats. By placing sexual violence at the cen
 ter of the systems of power and culture\, Eaves shows how the South’s ra
 pe culture was revealed in enslaved people’s and their enslavers’ inte
 ractions with one another and with members of their respective communities

  of history at the College of Charleston.
