White Standards Impact on Enslaved Women - Social

<p>The Transatlantic Slave Trade was not only physically enslaving but spiritually and mentally oppressing. Slave masters took control of the three social constructs that govern our society their race, class and gender expression and their identity.  Examples of the infringement on the slave's identity can especially be seen with the treatment of female slaves. In this learning lab are a number of resources to explore the control of women's hair, body, and actions in enslavement. </p>
