Nico’s Reviews > The Majority Finds Its Past: Placing Women in History > Status Update

Loving this book. From the chapter: Black & White Women: Interaction-Confrontation... "The white woman had, at all times, sufficient power to exploit and mistreat her slaves, but she seldom had enough power to protect them from abuse, should she so desire ... Black and white cooperation, wherever it was effective, was based on healthy self-interest, rather than on altruistic motives and paternalism."
