Volney Gay
International Psychoanalytic Books

“Volney Gay’s central thesis that slaveowners took pleasure in owning slaves provides fertile ground for future scholars and artists to till. This is a necessary book, born out of Gay’s experience as psychoanalyst practicing for three decades in the South. This volume will provoke significant conversations; it provides a new lens to examine events, artifacts, and writings from the antebellum South.”
