Shades of Ownership: Uncovering the Lives of Black Slave Masters in America
Shades of Ownership: Uncovering the Lives of Black Slave Masters in America delves into one of the most complex and overlooked aspects of American history: Black individuals who owned slaves. This book explores the lives of figures like Antoine Dubuclet, William Ellison, and Marie Metoyer, who, despite being part of the oppressed class themselves, became slave owners in the antebellum South. Through rich storytelling and rigorous historical research, Shades of Ownership challenges conventional narratives of slavery, examining the economic, social, and moral dilemmas faced by free Black individuals navigating a system built on racial exploitation. Samuel Carter sheds light on how these individuals balanced survival, ambition, and power, revealing a more nuanced and layered understanding of slavery and its long-lasting legacy.
