Quote #10
"You might be able to get a job as a driver," she said. "They like white men to be drivers. If you can read and write, and if you'd do the work, you might get hired." [...]
"You mean driving those big armored trucks, don't you?"
Emery looked confused. "Trucks? No, I mean driving people. Making them work. Pushing them to work faster. Making them do . . . whatever the owners says."
Harry's expression had dissolved from hopeful to horrified to outraged. "Jesus God, do you think I'd do that! How could you think I'd do anything like that?"
Emery shrugged. It startled me that she could be so indifferent about such a thing, but she seemed to be. "Some people think it's a good job," she said. (25.52-56)
Slaves of whatever sort might view the types of labor involved in slave practices, such as "driving" humans to make them work harder, differently from the way people without experience of that system might view them. Emery is accustomed to slave labor; Harry isn't.
