Children in slave families (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9786207339235)

The slave system of the American South in the 19th century, favored the socialization of blacks through family constructions. Although it had no legal existence because of the social status of blacks, the family was for the black slave a model of social stability and a means of owning property (wife and child) in a world where no rights were recognized.In the 19th century, the vast majority of slaves were born to slave parents and lived in slave families. The present study sʾintéresse à la vie sociale et au quotidien des enfants nés des unions entre esclaves dans le Haut-Sud des États-Unis au XIXe siècle. It is based on autobiographical testimonies and accounts by former slaves. Lʾanalyse de la documentation présente le rôle de la famille dans la vie et le quotidien de lʾenfant esclave ainsi que le caractère fragile des liens familiaux en raison des séparations. Also the type of education granted to the lʾenfant and the people involved in his upbringing.
