The book is, therefore, organised around the subject position of the enslaved mother and the reproduction of her children in enslavement. The condition of enslaved motherhood is examined through overlapping historical praxis evidenced in nineteenth-century Bahia: contested freedom, racialised mothering, and competing maternal interests—biological, ritual, surrogate. The point at which these interests converged historically was, it is argued, a conflict over black female reproductive rights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47933985554668,"sku":"9781805966326","price":194.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781805966326-emancipatory-narratives-enslaved-motherhood.jpg?v=1783889014"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/series-liverpool-studies-in-international-slavery.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
