This book intervenes in the romance of the south narrative, particularly in its framing of white women as innocent and childlike in the face of the institution of enslavement. Jones-Rogers shows exactly how competent, calculating, and cruel ww slave owners could be.

I am in awe of the research, the arguments, and the comprehensiveness of this work. It really exposes a deliberate occlusion in the field while highlighting how historical reconstruction has been a whiteness project.
