DESCRIPTION:Daina Berry discusses The Price for Their Pound of Flesh: The Value of the 
 Enslaved, from Womb to Grave, in the Building of a Nation  \n\n     In life 
 and in death, slaves were commodities, their monetary value assigned based 
 on their age, gender, health, and the demands of the market. The Price for 
 Their Pound of Flesh is the first book to explore the economic value of 
 enslaved people through every phase of their lives—including 
 preconception, infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, the senior 
 years, and death—in the early American domestic slave trade.  \n\n     
 This book is the culmination of more than ten years of research, drawing on 
 data from sources such as slave-trading records, insurance policies, 
 cemetery records, and life insurance policies. Writing with sensitivity and 
 depth, Dr. Berry resurrects the voices of the enslaved and provides a rare 
 window into enslaved peoples’ experiences and thoughts, revealing how 
 enslaved people recalled and responded to being appraised, bartered, and 
 sold throughout the course of their lives.\n\n\n
