Publisher Description: Winner of the Stone Book Award, Museum of African American History --Wall Street Journal "In this brilliantly researched book, Hunter examines the experiences of slave marriages as well as the marriages of free blacks." --Vibe "A groundbreaking history... Illuminates the complex and flexible character of black intimacy and kinship and the precariousness of marriage in the context of racial and economic inequality.
