King examines how violence between women in contemporary Caribbean and American texts is rooted in plantation slavery. Analyzing films, television shows, novels, short stories, poems, book covers, and paintings, King shows how contemporary media reuse salacious and stereotypical depictions of relationships between women living within the plantation system to confront its legacy in the present. The vestiges of these relationships--enslavers and enslaved women, employers and domestic servants, lovers and rivals--negate characters' efforts to imagine non-abusive approaches to power and agency. King's work goes beyond any other study to date to examine the intersections of gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, ability, and nationality in U.S. and Caribbean depictions of violence between women in the wake of slavery"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Depicting violence between women in circum-Caribbean texts -- Sensational violence -- Within and beyond sadistic violence -- Un-silencing sexual violence -- Violent denial in post-emancipation households -- The horror of intimate violence -- Plantation settings after 2016. 650 0 $a Women in popular culture $z United States. 650 0 $a Women in popular culture $z Caribbean Area. 650 0 $a Violence in women in popular culture $z United States. 650 0 $a Violence in women in popular culture $z Caribbean Area. 650 0 $a Slavery $x History. 650 0 $a Power (Social sciences) 650 0 $a Plantations in literature. 650 0 $a Plantations in art. 650 0 $a History. 650 7 $a Plantations in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01065815 650 7 $a Plantations in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01065816 650 7 $a Power (Social sciences) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01074219 650 7 $a Slavery. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120426 650 7 $a Violence in women in popular culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01905074 650 7 $a Women in popular culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177953 651 7 $a Caribbean Area. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244080 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020043.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=17C451DC253111EE91433F782CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
