A supplementary reading for my college credit American History class in 11th grade, this is a well-written and incisive study of American slavery that attempts to answer: "Was American slavery different from any other slave system, and why was its impact on Negro personality so severe and lasting?" It was one of my favorite books assigned that year. ( ) no reviews | add a review
This third edition of Stanley M. Elkin's classic study offers two new chapters by the author. The first, "Slavery and Ideology," considers the discussion and criticism occasioned by this controversial work. Elkins amplifies his original purpose in writing the book and takes into consideration the substantial body of critical commentary. He also attempts a prediction on the course of future research and discussion. No library descriptions found. |
