Klappentext
"She Is Weeping: An Intellectual History of Racialized Slavery and Emotions in the Atlantic World explores how discourses about emotion have legitimized the accumulation of power in the history of racialized enslaving regimes. This book argues that scientific theories about emotions have played a vital role in the imperial economies of racialized slavery in the Atlantic world. Scientific intellectual production on race, gender, sexuality, and predisposition to enslavement has been primarily premised on notions of emotional difference. These ideas have simultaneously driven the development of devastating body politics by enslaving structures of power. This book aims to contextualize how the emotional foundations of Atlantic slavery reverberate in the disconcerting normalization of contemporary racialized slavery"--

Zusammenfassung
