Fredrickson, New York Review of Books"Important And Timely….It upsets many historical notions and many sociological theories."— C. Vann Woodward"Gutman Has Successfully Challenged the traditional view that slavery virtually destroyed the Afro-American family."— John Hope Franklin"The Importance of Professor Gutman’s Book extends far beyond its immediate subject.
