However, I often felt like chapters were missing things and that some were just weaker than others. I also noticed some glaring absences especially when thinking about these issues through an intersectional lens. There’s a lot of focus on Black men, less focus on women, and basically no acknowledgement of LGBTQ+ folks, disabled people, Afro-Indigenous people, and many other intersections, which I felt weakened some of this work’s thesis. Personally, I also kept waiting for the book to make that extra push towards critically addressing capitalism, class, and abolition, but that might just be beyond the scope of this project (I also think that by framing slavery as the foundation of the US, rather than capitalism, would produce this [fairly simplistic] work. I think that’s the point, but I would have loved to have seen these authors make a much clearer link between the two. Cause without one I don’t think you’d have the other in the US). I think I’d recommend this as an intro to understanding the current impacts of slavery on the US, but I do think there are other books/authors who approach this general theme with a more critical, nuanced, and deep angle.
