Jacket design by Judith Leeds. keywords: Slavery History African American America. FROM THE PUBLISHER-In a time of profound re-evaluation of American slavery, Eugene Genovese's powerful book is, in the words of distinguished reviewers, ‘a landmark, ' ‘one of the few truly distinguished studies of American slavery. ' ROLL, JORDAN, ROLL incorporates the most modern findings of sociologists, folklorists, theologians, legal historians, and Cliometricians, but brings to its study of the Old South a human sensibility which re-creates the lives of the human beings of that society. Genovese's bold reassessment of the master-slave relationship breaks myths of long standing-the genial Mammy, the emasculated black male, the all-powerful master and overseer, the obsequious black preacher, the accommodating ‘house nigger. ' His evidence is convincing. Slavery remains one of history's greatest crimes, yet slaves were often able to adopt strategies of resistance that blunted their masters' control. Many slaves managed to limit cruelty by strength of personality, by extraordinary religious faith, and by shrewd manipulation of mutual dependency. A collective identity of spirit and pride survived the conspiracy to dehumanize or destroy the slaves even though the paternalistic system suppressed political organization or revolution in the exploited underclass. ROLL, JORDAN, ROLL is a story of family and religion, work and leisure, punishment and revenge, accommodation and resistance, and ultimately, of triumph, of ennoblement of the human spirit. The slaves who survived brutalization enriched and deepened and shamed the culture that enslaved them. Genovese has written a compassionate human work that sees the frailties and the strengths of all who were in bondage-the slaves and their masters. inventory #27048.
