Harris place sexuality at the center of slavery studies in the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Americas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Americas<\/a> (the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/United_States\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">United States<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Caribbean\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Caribbean<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/South_America\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">South America<\/a>). While scholars have marginalized or simply overlooked the importance of sexual practices in most mainstream studies of slavery, Berry and Harris argue here that sexual intimacy constituted a core terrain of struggle between slaveholders and the enslaved. These essays explore consensual sexual intimacy and expression within slave communities, as well as sexual relationships across lines of race, status, and power. Contributors explore sexuality as a tool of control, exploitation, and repression and as an expression of autonomy, resistance, and defiance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Table of Contents<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Foreword<\/em> \/ Catherine Clinton<\/li>\n<li><em>Acknowledgments<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Introduction \/ Daina Ramey Berry and Leslie M.
