This is a bold new commentary on the human breeding practices of White slave owners in the South. Socioeconomic and political forces during the antebellum period made ripe the opportunity for slave owners to engage in breeding with their female slaves to produce desired offspring for the commodities slave market. The book raises new questions on the origin of race as defined by one’s skin color. It is an absolute must read book for academia, historians, sociologist, anthropologist and others interested in US slave history.
