Slavery in White and Black: Class and Race in the Southern Slaveholders' New World Order

Genovese, Eugene D.

Cambridge University Press

Presenting many slaveholders as intelligent, honorable and pious men and women, this study asks how people who were admirable in so many ways could have presided over a social system that inflicted gross abuse on slaves. The South had formidable proslavery intellectuals who participated fully in transatlantic debates and boldly challenged an ascendant capitalist ("free-labor") society. Blending classical and Christian traditions, they forged a moral and political philosophy designed to sustain conservative principles in history, political economy, social theory, and theology, while translating them into political action.

The Mind of the Master Class: History and Faith in the Southern Slaveholders' Worldview

Southern slaveholders proudly pronounced themselves orthodox Christians, who accepted responsibility for the welfare of the people who worked for them. They proclaimed that their slaves enjoyed a better and more secure life than any laboring class in the world. Now, did it not follow that the lives of laborers of all races across the world would be immeasurably improved by their enslavement? In the Old South but in no other slave society a doctrine emerged among leading clergymen, politicians, and intellectuals-- "Slavery in the Abstract," which declared enslavement the best possible condition for all labor regardless of race. They joined the Socialists, whom they studied, in believing that the free-labor system, wracked by worsening class warfare, was collapsing. A vital question: to what extent did the people of the several social classes of the South accept so extreme a doctrine? That question lies at the heart of this book.

In the late twentieth century the status of women underwent a revolutionary change. While doors opened as never before, it came at a cost to the family. 
Elizabeth Fox-Genovese explores how the drives for liberation and equality have affected the family and calls for a return to self sacrifice, gendered family roles, and a Christian understanding of sexual difference and human equality. Three respected evangelicals respond, offering varied perspectives on how a biblical understanding of family life informs the balance of individual rights and family responsibilities. 
First delivered as the fourth Kuyper Lecture, this book contains responses from Stanley J. Grenz, Mardi Keyes, and Mary Stewart Van Leeuwen. A concluding essay by editors James W. Skillen and Michelle N. Voll lays out policy steps for protecting the family.
