       Disability and Race on the Antebellum Stage. 
520    "Time and again, antebellum Americans justified slavery 
       and white supremacy by linking blackness to disability, 
       defectiveness, and dependency. Jenifer L. Barclay examines
       the ubiquitous narratives that depicted black people with 
       disabilities as pitiable, monstrous, or comical, 
       narratives used not only to defend slavery but argue 
       against it. As she shows, this relationship between 
       ableism and racism impacted racial identities during the 
       antebellum period and played an overlooked role in shaping
       American history afterward. Barclay also illuminates the 
       everyday lives of the ten percent of enslaved people who 
       lived with disabilities. Devalued by slaveholders as 
       unsound and therefore worthless, these individuals 
       nonetheless carved out an unusual autonomy. Their roles as
       caregivers, healers, and keepers of memory made them 
       esteemed within their own communities and celebrated 
       figures in song and folklore. Prescient in its analysis 
       and rich in detail, 'The Mark of Slavery' is a powerful 
       addition to the intertwined histories of disability, 
       slavery, and race"--|cProvided by publisher.
