摘要

本文探讨了1788年至1834年英属加勒比蓄奴社会中性别、残疾和护理劳动之间的交集。由于被奴隶主视为经济负担,年老和残疾的女奴通过照顾她们被奴役的同伴而变得富有生产力,而她们中的许多人本身由于怀孕、疾病、年龄或损伤而暂时失去了生产力。虽然奴隶主贬低年老和残疾的女奴,并将她们分配到较低的劳动地位,但实际上,奴隶主隐藏着一种经济逻辑:残疾和年老的女奴虽然效率很高,但属于另一种类型,她们的生产力对种植园的健康发展至关重要。这篇文章探讨了玛丽王子的历史,作为一个被奴役的女人的第一手资料,她经历了间歇性的损伤和长期残疾,并实践了自我照顾,并从多个不同的女人那里得到了照顾。

‘Had it not been for her’: Gender, Care Labour and Disability in the British Caribbean, 1788–1834

This article explores the intersections between gender, disability and care labour in the slaveholding societies of the British Caribbean from 1788 to 1834. Considered economic burdens by slaveholders, aged and disabled bondswomen were made productive through caring for their enslaved peers, many of whom were themselves temporarily unproductive due to pregnancy, illness, age or impairment. Although slaveowners devalued aged and disabled bondswomen, and assigned them inferior labour positions, in actuality, slaveowners concealed an economic logic: disabled and aged bondspeople were efficient but of a different kind, and their productivity was essential to the healthscape of the plantation. This article explores The History of Mary Prince as a first-hand account of an enslaved woman who experienced episodic impairment and long-term disability and who practiced self-care and received care from multiple different women.

Spanning epochs and continents, Gender & History examines changing conceptions of gender, and maps the dialogue between femininities, masculinities and their historical contexts. The journal publishes rigorous and readable articles both on particular episodes in gender history and on broader methodological questions which have ramifications for the discipline as a whole.
