The Politics of Slavery, Ableism, and White Supremacy -- One Hell of a Metaphor: Disability and Race on the Antebellum Stage. 520 $a "Time and again, antebellum Americans justified slavery and white supremacy by linking blackness to disability, defectiveness, and dependency. Jenifer L. Barclay examines the ubiquitous narratives that depicted black people with disabilities as pitiable, monstrous, or comical, narratives used not only to defend slavery but argue against it. As she shows, this relationship between ableism and racism impacted racial identities during the antebellum period and played an overlooked role in shaping American history afterward. Barclay also illuminates the everyday lives of the ten percent of enslaved people who lived with disabilities. Devalued by slaveholders as unsound and therefore worthless, these individuals nonetheless carved out an unusual autonomy. Their roles as caregivers, healers, and keepers of memory made them esteemed within their own communities and celebrated figures in song and folklore. Prescient in its analysis and rich in detail, 'The Mark of Slavery' is a powerful addition to the intertwined histories of disability, slavery, and race"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Slaves $x History $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a African Americans with disabilities $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a People with disabilities $x History $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a People with disabilities $z United States $x History $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Slaves $z United States $x Social conditions $y 19th century. 651 0 $a United States $x History $x History $y 19th century. 830 0 $a Disability histories 941 $a 5 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214050017.0 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718100233.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20220520010555.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210512010122.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20210504015702.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D526A05CAC9F11EBAF53C5C920ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
