Eeeks, having finally finished writing after more than 5 years (published October 2015), The American Slave Coast: A History of the Slave-breeding Industry. an history of the U.S. through the study of the capitalized enslaved womb from colonial era through to Emancipation -- there's something very disconcerting (to me! let me haste to add) to read: "Slave Trade - Susan Wright - Surprisingly little sex for a book about sex slaves." There was nothing at all sexy about the sex slave traffiking that went on by the slave traders of the time. I've had to read their correspondence with each about their most "expensive and valuable articles," which first they passed among themselves until they tired of them and put them on the market. This is some of the most revolting content, to put it mildly, I have ever had to read.

Isabel Wilkerson's book is splendid.

Love, C.
