Whew. WOW.
Slavery, misogynoir, and ontological racism goes back so far. Books like these are highly important because we are not taught EVERYTHING about how they treated descendents of African people as chattel. This was a harrowing read on how the Black Body was used for Yt supremacist capitalism and colonialism's gain.
