Skinfill, Mauri. "Nation and Miscegenation: Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl." Arizona Quarterly 51 .2 (Summer 1995): 63-79. Review from Buffalo Americanist Digest: "Harriet Jacobs is caught in more than just the chains of slavery. According to Skinfill, Jacobs' narrative must not only contendwith the ideology of the cult of domesticity and the national desire for a politically unified country, it must also contend with capitalism. Skinfill argues that the national politics of the time spoke for a political harmony which alluded to racial purity, and
the cult of domesticity purported an ideological vision of sexual purity for womanhood. Both groups, then, enslave Jacobs and her narrative to conditions that she cannot meet because of the situation for female slaves. Capitalism in the South saw the female slave's body as nothing more than property, and thus female slaves were not protected under the law against sexual violence. Jacobs, who seeks to win the sympathy of the white, northern women abolitionists, must maintain her purity from the advances of her master by choosing to have sexual relations with another white man. Lyons' essay shows how slavery and more importantly slaves were caught in a double bind between race and class distinctions."
