"This book—in which Genovese extends and amplifies the provocative arguments of his earlier study, The Political Economy of Slavery—consists of two long essays. The first is a comparative analysis of the differing slave systems in the New World and the second provides a friendly, but not uncritical, discussion of the thought of George Fitzhugh, a leading pro-slavery theorist of the Old South Serious discussion of the issues Genovese boldly confronts is no longer possible without reference to his brilliant, disturbing and thought-provoking analysis." —George M. Fredrickson, Book Week
" the book is one that no student of history, whether economic, social, or political, can well neglect."
