A testament to the power of the human spirit under conditions of extreme oppression, this landmark history of slavery in the South challenged conventional views by illuminating the many forms of resistance to dehumanization that developed in slave society.
Displaying keen insight into the minds of both enslaved persons and slaveholders, historian Eugene Genovese investigates the ways that enslaved persons forced their owners to acknowledge their humanity through culture, music, and religion. He covers a vast range of subjects, from slave weddings and funerals, to language, food, clothing, and labor, and places particular emphasis on religion as both a major battleground for psychological control and a paradoxical source of spiritual strength. A winner of the Bancroft Prize.Languages:EnglishPublisher:VintageISBN-13:9780394716527ISBN-10:394716523UPC:9780394716527Book Category:History, Social ScienceBook Subcategory:United States, Ethnic StudiesBook Topic:State & Local, American, Civil War Period (1850-1877)Size:8.00 x 5.28 x 1.43 inchesWeight:1.32Product ID:SCYBJMT6KA
