Critic Reviews

“"What is original in Mr. Genovese's highly stimulating volume is the analysis of the ante bellum political, economic, and social structure as a closed system with a built-in (and most un-American) resistance to change... [It] will move the discussion of the ante bellum South to a new level of sophistication." --Anne Firor Scott, The South Atlantic Quarterly "The work is original and quite persuasive."-- The New Yorker "Genovese has combined elegance of expression and originality of analysis in a remarkable book." --Leonard Bloom, Journal of Modern African Studies "He has given new life to the study of Southern history."--William N. Parker, Economic History Review”
