without power saw women’s bodies and their participation in and reproduction of the plantation workforce in different terms. But attention to the greater economic context would have further contextualized the crisis faced by planters and the much more serious one for slaves who were brutalized and manipulated in an improbable effort to save a broken system. The many plans and projects to preserve Jamaican sugar production, including the importation of indentured servants, rose and fell again with both organizational dynamics and international events. Women’s continuing struggles to realize autonomy and agency within Jamaica’s changing agricultural system have also engaged scholars, of course, further enhancing our understanding of women’s contributions to the economic, social, and cultural history of Jamaica and the larger region. This minor reservation aside, Contested Bodies: Pregnancy, Childrearing, and Slavery in Jamaica is a major contribution to the study of Caribbean slavery, Jamaican history, and women’s studies. Turner’s conception of slave women’s bodies as key to our understanding of slavery and to the battles among abolitionists, planters, the British and Jamaican governments, and slaves themselves is a major rethinking of shifting labor regimes with the abolition of slavery and movement toward emancipation. Her deft handling of the methodological demands of a broad range of data reflecting these highly divergent viewpoints is equally strong; her efforts to trace and explicate the views and practices of slave women themselves as their roles in production and reproduction were reconceived is a model for students of history seeking to hear and share the voices of the powerless.

The Hymnal: A Reading History by Christopher N. Phillips

没有权力以不同的方式看待妇女的身体及其对种植园劳动力的参与和再生产。但是，对更大的经济背景的关注会进一步将种植者面临的危机和更严重的危机置于更严重的背景下，这些危机对于为了挽救一个破碎的系统而被残酷对待和操纵的奴隶来说是不可能的。保护牙买加食糖生产的许多计划和项目，包括契约仆人的进口，随着组织动态和国际事件的出现再次起起落落。妇女在牙买加不断变化的农业系统中为实现自主权和能动性而不断奋斗，当然也让学者们参与其中，进一步加深了我们对妇女对牙买加和更大地区经济、社会和文化历史贡献的理解。撇开这个小保留，有争议的机构：牙买加的怀孕、育儿和奴隶制是对加勒比奴隶制、牙买加历史和妇女研究的重大贡献。特纳认为奴隶妇女的身体是我们理解奴隶制以及废奴主义者、种植园主、英国和牙买加政府以及奴隶本身之间斗争的关键，这是对随着废除奴隶制和解放运动而转变的劳动制度的重大重新思考。她对反映这些高度不同观点的广泛数据的方法论要求的巧妙处理同样强大。
