'Stella Dadzie has given us another chapter in women's history by uncovering resistance that is uniquely rooted in controlling reproduction. This is a meticulously researched narrative that privileges the people who were so brutally treated that it was easy to assume they had no agency. We now know that such an assumption would be mistaken. This is an essential addition to the corpus of historical study into the nature, legacy and impacts of the period of African enslavement. Finally, it's a work that allows us to better understand and recognise how women disrupted the central economic principles supporting the enslavement of generations of people' ARIKE OKE Managing Director of Black Cultural Archives
