Description
Eugene Genovese's groundbreaking study challenges traditional approaches to understanding slavery by examining the complex power dynamics between masters and slaves. This thought-provoking work argues that the institution of American slavery can only be fully understood by considering how it was structured, rather than simply viewing it as a product of economic determinism. Genovese's thesis builds on Antonio Gramsci's concept of hegemony, reinterpreting the master-slave relationship in a fresh and insightful way. By focusing on slave culture, Genovese successfully reconceptualises an institution that has often been viewed as straightforwardly exploitative. This book offers a nuanced and engaging exploration of one of America's most complex and enduring social issues. Through its innovative approach, this study provides valuable insights into the nature of power and resistance in the context of slavery.
