Product Details

Praise

“The most profound, learned, and detailed analysis of slavery to appear since World War II. It covers an incredible range of topics and offers fresh insights on  nearly every page. . . . Genovese’s great gift is his ability to penetrate the minds of both slaves and masters, revealing not only how they viewed themselves and each other, but also how their contradictory perceptions interacted.” —The New York Times Book Review

“Without modern peer as an historical narrative, as a sensitive functional analysis of a major region and period of American society in general, and the Afro-American community in particular.” —The New Republic

“Altogether a first-class historical work, enhanced by a good, forthright style” —The New Yorker

“Genovese  has done more than any other American historian to life this tortured subject out of its culture-bound parochialism.” –C. Vann Woodward, The New York Review of Books
