Wilma Dunaway contends that studies of the slave family have been flawed by neglect of small plantations and exaggeration of slave agency. Using population trends and slave narratives, she identifies several profit-maximizing strategies that owners implemented to disrupt and endanger African-American families during the Civil War and Reconstruction.
