The chapter on wet nursing is particularly interesting given the exchange of fluids necessary in that project and the fiction of racial purity that undergirds enslavement.

Spectacular cases like LaLaurie are easily dismissed as aberrations in the historical record. The point is that history has deliberately occluded white women's ready & eager participation in enslavement because of the special status accorded to them in racist patriarchal systems.
