This roundtable examines the many facets of sexuality within slave communities in the United States, the Caribbean, and South America. The four panelists explore consensual sexual intimacy and expression within slave communities, as well as sexual relationships across lines of race, status, and power. They also explore sexuality as a tool of control, exploitation, and repression and as an expression of autonomy, resistance, and defiance.

Chair: Daina Ramey Berry, University of Texas at Austin
Panel: Jim Downs, Gettysburg College; Thomas A. Foster, Howard University; Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers, University of California, Berkeley; and Bianca Premo, Florida International University
