Black Reparations in the United States, 2024
This introduction seeks to perform two tasks: it provides a roadmap for readers yet to be initiated into the reparations dialogue and provides fresh insights for those already well versed in it. This edition deals with reparations for black Americans whose ancestors were enslaved in the United States for government policies that allowed centuries of chattel slavery and legal race discrimination. The articles in this double issue represent the mos…

Beyond 2020
2020 saw a perfect storm of events. It began with the COVID-19 pandemic that swept across the globe, followed by waves of racial unrest, economic distress, and political turbulence even as wildfires, hurricanes and tropical storms tore across our region.

Soul values and American slavery
This essay explores ‘soul values,’ which refers to how some enslaved people found ways to draw upon the strength of their souls to survive slavery. This kind of resistance manifested as a deep expression of their self-worth and can be found in testimonies of the enslaved, deep analyses of their actions, and careful examinations of their internal fortitude. Such spiritual resilience represents one response to enslavement on a much larger spectrum …
Women and Slavery in the Nineteenth Century
This chapter analyzes the lives of enslaved women in the nineteenth-century United States and the Caribbean, an era characterized by the massive expansion of the institution of chattel slavery. Framing the discussion through the themes of labor, commodification, sexuality, and resistance, this chapter highlights the wide range of lived experiences of enslaved women in the Atlantic World. Enslaved women’s productive and reproductive labor fueled t…
Sexuality and Slavery
Contested Bodies
By opening with a powerful vignette and image of an unnamed naked enslaved woman suspended by her ankles, Sasha Turner takes readers of Contested Bodies right to the heart of her study. Enslaved women's bodies, the primary subject of this book, represented sites of contestation that abolitionists, slave traders, physicians, seamen, and enslavers sought to control. Although we know very little about the young woman who was tortured for three days …
The Price for Their Pound of Flesh
After Piketty
Thomas Piketty’s Capital in the Twenty-First Century is the most widely discussed work of economics in recent history, selling millions of copies in dozens of languages. But are its analyses of inequality and economic growth on target? Where should researchers go from here in exploring the ideas Piketty pushed to the forefront of global conversation? A cast of economists and other social scientists tackle these questions in dialogue with Piketty,…
