Following the life cycle of a child from birth through youth to young adulthood, Marie Jenkins Schwartz explores the daunting world of American slave children, a world governed by the dual authority of parent and owner, each with conflicting agendas. Schwartz counters the commonly held vision of the paternalistic slaveholder who determines the life and welfare of his passive chattel, showing instead how slaves struggled to give their children a sense of self and belonging that denied the owner complete control.
