Industry Reviews "This slim volume from Greenwood Press literally stopped my heart on first reading. Here was the trail, well-documented and clearly articulated, of how black sociologists and historians came to share many of the paternalistic and racist assumptions of the white elite in regard to black women and their role in the family....Morton explores how the stereotype of the careless, oversexed single black mother originated in a series of virtually undocumented generalizations about the promiscuity and inappropriate mothering of slave women, which no one ever bothered to check." Women's Review of Books - Michele Wallace (07/19/1995)
