First Impressions
Travelers rarely failed to comment upon it; indeed when describing Negroes they frequently began with complexion and then moved on to dress and manners. The ancient Greeks had touched upon it without ever really coming to grips with it. The well-publicized English program for converting Indians produced very meager results, but the avowed intentions certainly were genuine. Yet it remains difficult to see why Negroes were not included, at least as…
Modern Tensions and the Origins of American Slavery
The modern Negro was the unhappy victim of long association with base status. Sociologists, though uninterested in tired questions of historical evidence, could not easily assume a natural prejudice in the white man as the cause of slavery. In fact certain current tensions in American society have complicated the historical problem and greatly heightened its significance. Carl N. Degler grappled with the dating problem in an article frankly entit…
Historical Origins of the One-Drop Racial Rule in the United States
Winthrop Jordan, one of the most honored of US historians, wrote about racial mixing ageneration before there was a field of mixed race studies. At the time of his death, he left an unfinished manuscript: “Historical Origins of the One-Drop Racial Rule in the United States.” For this inaugural issue of the JCMRS , Jordan’s former student Paul Spickard, himself a foundational scholar of multiracial studies from the first wave of scholarship in the…
White Over Black
This book sets out in encyclopedic detail the evolution of white Englishmen's and Anglo-Americans' perceptions of blacks, perceptions of difference used to justify race-based slavery, and liberty and justice for whites only. This second edition reminds us that this text is still the definitive work on the history of race in America in the colonial era. Every book published to this day on slavery and racism builds upon this work; all are judged in…
Slavery and the American South
The Charleston Hurricane of 1822; Or, the Law's Rampage
SLL, there goes another firm fact of life. We have here both X an object lesson and a dramatic exposure of an outrageous professional scandal. Michael P. Johnson has a long record of devoted adherence to previously neglected evidentiary material, notably in his creative use of the mortality tables of the United States census. Here he is on more difficult ground-nearly quicksand, given the subject in question-but I think very largely persuasive.' …

The Slave Trade
Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings
Black Legacy
Drawing on a vast wealth of evidence - folktales, oral histories, religious rituals, and music - this book explores the pervasive if often unacknowledged influence of African traditions on American life. The result is a bold reinterpretation of American history that disrupts conventional assumptions and turns racial stereotypes inside out. William D. Piersen begins by examining a series of African and African-American oral narratives that interpr…
Tumult and Silence at Second Creek
Tumult and Silence at Second Creek
Dark Deeds Seen Through a Dark Glass
This is a hard book to classify. It is, mostly, about a shadowy slave conspiracy in Adams County, Mississippi, during 1861, and its savage repression. Yet it contains no narrative of these events, simply because, as Winthrop Jordan makes quite clear, it is impossible to construct any coherent sequence out of the remaining evidence. The book has all the apparatus of a scholarly monograph, including excellent maps and printed versions of all twenty…

The Influence of the West Indies on the Origins of New England Slavery
IN considering New England Negro slavery, it might well be asked not why it was weakly rooted there, but why it existed at all. Service for life, together with the inheritance of a like obligation by any offspring, had no basis in English law, and New England never developed a staple crop that demanded large amounts of raw labor for its cultivation. It has been suggested that slavery became established in the Puritan colonies because there was in…

Slavery and Human Progress
Pulitzer Prize-winner David Brion Davis here provides a penetrating survey of slavery and emancipation from ancient times to the twentieth century. His trenchant analysis puts the most recent international debates about freedom and human rights into much-needed perspective. Davis shows that slavery was once regarded as a form of human progress, playing a critical role in the expansion of the western world. It was not until the eighteenth and nine…
