From Bondage to Contract: Wage Labor, Marriage, and the Market in the Age of Slave Emancipation, Paperback
de: Amy Dru Stanley
Publicat de: Cambridge University Press
Anunta-ma cand revine pe stoc!This book explores the centrality of contract to debates over freedom and slavery in nineteenth-century America. It focuses on the contracts of wage labor and marriage, investigating the connections between abolition in the South and industrial capitalism in the North and linking labor relations to home life. Integrating the fields of gender and legal, intellectual and social history, it reveals how abolitionists, former slaves, feminists, laborers, lawmakers and others drew on contract to condemn chattel slavery and to measure the virtues of free society.
