Summary
In this chapter I engage in a comparative analysis of discourses of shame and identity in the Cuban and US slave systems, which were interrelated economically yet differed in terms of public discussions of race and affect (Chambers 24). Without conflating these systems or overstating their differences, I hope to understand the relationships connecting discussions of race, affect, practices of rule, and slaveholder paternalism – the notion of reciprocal duties that allegedly bound slaveholders and slaves together – in legal, literary, and political discourse (Genovese 5).
