Genovese, Eugene D.
Roll, Jordan, roll : the world the slaves made. / Eugene D. Genovese. - New York : Pantheon books, , 1974. - xxii, 823 p. ; 25 cm.
Displaying keen insight into the minds of both enslaved persons and slaveholders, historian Eugene Genovese investigates the ways that enslaved persons forced their owners to acknowledge their humanity through culture, music, and religion. He covers a vast range of subjects, from slave weddings and funerals, to language, food, clothing, and labor, and places particular emphasis on religion as both a major battleground for psychological control and a paradoxical source of spiritual strength.
