Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

Answer to Question 2

Ideal Answer: The ideal answer should:
1. Explain British views of European women as superior and pure in sexuality and race.
2. Explain British views of African women as overly sexual and impure.
3. Describe the impact of these ideas on African women slaves in terms of sexual exploitation and work regime: European men sexually exploited black women while failing to extend to them the customary protections that white women enjoyed in European society. Black women worked alongside men in the fields in America.
4. Discuss the fact that interracial children produced by the sexual exploitation of black slave women were often left to the slave community to raise, though on rare occasions the child was raised by the white master, often in Europe.
