Consider Out of the House of Bondage by Thavolia Glymph. Recommended by 1 sources.
“Glymph treats the plantation household as an engine of production and a battleground where gender, race, and class competed for control. The prose balances close archival reconstruction with sustained argument, so you’ll come away with a sharper, less sentimental picture of mistresses as active power holders rather than passive victims. What works best is its reframing of domestic space as political economy; the main limitation is its heavy scholarly density and insistence on argument over storytelling, which slows pacing for general readers.”
