When Rape was Legal: The Untold History of Sexual Violence during Slavery de Rachel A. Feinstein

When Rape was Legal: The Untold History of Sexual Violence during Slavery: New Critical Viewpoints on Society

Autor Rachel A. Feinstein
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 aug 2018

Subliniem valoarea documentară a acestei lucrări prin prisma analizei riguroase a petițiilor de divorț depuse de femeile albe, un instrument juridic ce scoate la iveală realități brutale, adesea omise din istoriografia oficială. When Rape was Legal nu se limitează la o simplă trecere în revistă a atrocităților, ci propune o examinare critică a modului în care violența sexuală a fost utilizată pentru a construi și menține identitatea masculinității albe în Statele Unite. Notăm cu interes felul în care autoarea Rachel A. Feinstein demonstrează că violul nu a fost doar un act de dominație individuală, ci o componentă structurală a ierarhiei intersecționale.

Lucrarea extinde cadrul propus de Rape and Sexual Power in Early America de Sharon Block cu date noi extrase din mărturiile directe ale femeilor și bărbaților de culoare, oferind o perspectivă mai strâns focalizată pe mecanismele sclaviei americane. Structura textului, publicat în seria New Critical Viewpoints on Society la editura Routledge, este concepută pentru a ghida cititorul de la contextul istoric al secolelor XVIII-XIX către implicațiile sociologice actuale. Primele capitole recuperează vocile celor oprimați, în timp ce secțiunile centrale analizează complicitatea femeilor albe, care, prin tăcere sau participare indirectă, au facilitat subordonarea sclavilor. Finalul cărții face legătura necesară cu prezentul, examinând cum moștenirea acestor violențe rasializate și de gen continuă să modeleze societatea contemporană. Este o lectură densă, bazată pe surse de arhivă, care refuză explicațiile simpliste în favoarea unei analize sociologice de profunzime.

Feinstein oferă o perspectivă necesară asupra modului în care legea și normele sociale au protejat agresorii, transformând violul într-un instrument de control social.

Despre autor

Rachel A. Feinstein este o cercetătoare specializată în sociologie și criminologie, recunoscută pentru studiile sale asupra inegalităților rasiale și de gen. În lucrarea de față, publicată sub egida Routledge, ea își valorifică expertiza în analiza sistemică a rasismului pentru a aduce la lumină aspecte marginalizate ale sclaviei. Abordarea sa îmbină rigoarea analizei de arhivă cu perspectivele teoretice moderne despre intersecționalitate, oferind o contribuție esențială la înțelegerea modului în care instituțiile istorice au modelat identitățile sociale și structurile de putere care persistă până în prezent.

Descriere scurtă

When Rape was Legal is the first book to solely focus on the widespread rape perpetrated against enslaved black women by white men in the United States. The routine practice of sexual violence against enslaved black women by white men, the motivations for this rape, and the legal context that enabled this violence are all explored and scrutinized. Enlightening analysis found that rape was not merely a result of sexual desire and opportunity, or simply a form of punishment and racial domination, but instead encompassed all of these dimensions as part of the identity of white masculinity. This provocative text highlights the significant role that white women played in enabling sexual violence against enslaved black women through a variety of responses and, at times, through their lack of response to the actions of the white men in their lives. Significantly, this book finds that sexual violence against enslaved black women was a widespread form of oppression used to perform white masculinity and reinforce an intersectional hierarchy. Additionally, white women played a vital role by enabling this sexual violence and perpetuating the subordination of themselves and those subordinate to them.

Recenzii

Dr. Feinstein in When Rape was Legal, combines the use of multiple archival sources with her theoretically informed and insightful analysis of the largely overlooked issue of the rape of enslaved black women by white men. She brings together systemic racism perspectives with scholarship on intersectionality to highlight how the privilege and power of whites was achieved through the sexual exploitation of black women.　Dr. Feinsten uniquely adds to our understanding of this topic through bringing to the fore 1) the role of white women as ‘intermediate groups’ that reinforce oppression and 2) how the ‘intergenerational reproduction of white masculinity’ works. This book is essential reading for scholars and students in criminology, sociology, race and ethnic studies, and women’s and gender studies. The insights from her careful historical analysis add to our current understanding of violence against women, racial oppression and the perpetuation of privilege and inequality. It also adds to insights on the historical domination of black bodies, and in this case female black bodies, complementing Ta-Neishi Coates’ powerful insights in Between the World and Me.
Holly Foster, Professor of Sociology, Texas A&M University
Rachel Feinstein’s book is a must-read for scholars making connections between slavery, Jim Crow, and contemporary issues. Her use of original court records and diaries gives voice to otherwise silenced women, Black and White. She shows how the intergenerational transmission of white masculinity continues to contribute to sexual violence committed against women today.
Ruth Thompson-Miller, author, Jim Crow’s Legacy: The Lasting Impact of Segregation
Feinstein presents powerful and heart-wrenching narratives of commonplace and state-sanctioned sexual terrorism by white males against enslaved Black women. She details the intergenerational transmission of white masculinity, shows how gendered racism fits within the white racial frame, and, important for the current gap in literature it fills, chronicles white women’s complicity in white men’s rape of enslaved Black women. The narratives in When Rape Was Legal are painful to read, yet Feinstein’s analysis is critically important to understand sexual assault and gendered racism today.
Leslie Picca, Professor of Sociology, University of Dayton
