Clinging to mammy : the faithful slave in twentieth-century America

Author:	Micki McElya
Publisher:	Cambridge, Mass. : Harvard University Press, 2007.
Edition/Format:	Book : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	Micki McElya argues that the figure of the loyal slave has played a powerful role in modern American politics and culture. Loving, hating, pitying or pining for 'mammy' became a way for Americans to make sense of shifting economic, social, and racial realities and some black people's contentment with servitude.
