Abstract	"Mastering Emotions examines the role emotions played in the power dynamics between enslaved people and slaveholders in the antebellum South. Drawing on a variety of sources, Mastering Emotions explores how emotions were deployed to both reinforce and resist enslavement, and the post-Emancipation reverberations of the emotional politics of slavery" -- Provided by publisher.
