Disability is often mentioned in discussions of slave health, mistreatment and abuse, but constructs of how able and disabled bodies influenced the institution of slavery has gone largely overlooked. This book uncovers a history of disability in African American slavery from the primary record, analyzing how concepts of race, disability, and power converged in the United States in the first half of the nineteenth century.
