It focuses on the contracts of wage labor and marriage, investigating the connections between abolition in the South and industrial capitalism in the North and linking labor relations to home life. Integrating the fields of gender and legal, intellectual and social history, it reveals how abolitionists, former slaves, feminists, laborers, lawmakers and others drew on contract to condemn chattel slavery and to measure the virtues of free society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amy Dru Stanley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521635268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521635264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/13\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.97h x 5.97w x 0.74d","brand":"Amy Dru Stanley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990212051199,"sku":"9780521635264","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_af87a0a9-a01b-4f5f-86ff-59766ba33078.jpg?v=1683303640","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-bondage-to-contract-amy-dru-stanley-9780521635264","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
