The Demands of Justice: Enslaved Women, Capital Crime, and Clemency in Early Virginia
Tamika Y. Nunley
Demonstrating how crimes, convictions, and clemency functioned within a slave society that upheld the property interests of white Virginians, Tamika Nunley reveals the frequency with which owners preferred to keep the accused in bondage, which allowed them, behind the veil of paternalism, to continue to benefit from Black women’s labour.
