This groundbreaking book delves into the role of white women in the American slave economy. Author Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers shows that slave-owning women were savvy economic actors who directly benefited from the South's slave market. White women employed the same brutal management techniques as men and often refused to relinquish ownership of their slaves. By examining the lives of enslaved people and slave-owning women, Jones-Rogers presents a narrative that challenges conventional wisdom about the economics and social conventions of slaveholding America.

La falta de amor se ha convertido en el presente en un fenómeno común. Bell Hooks nos propone retornar a él, aprender a amar, ensenar el amor desde la infancia, desafiar la generalizada idea de que el amor romántico es el único auténtico y asumir todas sus manifestaciones -el amor a si mismo, a la comunidad, a la pareja y aun el amor divino- con honestidad, ética y compromiso. En cada etapa de nuestra vida, en lo público y lo privado, el amor cura las heridas, nutre el espíritu y brinda paz. Todo sobre el amor es la profunda reflexión de una mujer sobre el poder transformador del amor, escrita con una cuidadosa combinación de calidez despojada de sentimentalismo y agudeza intelectual. Una obra fundamental que nos descubre una nueva manera de comprender el amor.
