Wicked Flesh: Black Women, Intimacy, and Freedom in the Atlantic World

byJessica Marie Johnson

Jessica Marie Johnson uses Wicked Flesh to investigate black Women, Intimacy, and Freedom in the Atlantic World through a carefully framed historical account. Its account follows central actors and turning points while showing how the story reflects questions in the connected fields of history and social science. Attention to evidence keeps the discussion anchored while allowing disagreement, uncertainty, and unintended consequences to remain visible. Together, these elements make Wicked Flesh an accessible guide to the subject and the questions it continues to raise.
