The World the Slaves Made
Book • 1974
In this book, Genovese examines the complex relationships between slaves and slaveholders, focusing on the paternalistic framework that governed their interactions.
He argues that this system, while oppressive, also allowed slaves to create their own communities, cultures, and forms of resistance.
The book delves into various aspects of slave life, including family structures, religious practices, and forms of resistance such as feigning illness or running away.
Genovese's work challenges simplistic views of slavery by showing how slaves maintained their humanity and agency within the oppressive system.
