AUTHOR
SUMMARY
"George Fitzhugh of Virginia provides a perfect sounding-board for Genovese's thesis. Fitzhugh produced a slashing critique of 19th-century capitalism and defended slavery as a humane labor system....Genovese justifies his extended analysis of Fitzhugh's ideas on the ground that 'his thought...held a central place in the development of the ideology of the master class.' This must be considered an exaggerated claim....The reader puts down this book with an uneasy feeling that the past could not have been so rational, logical and symmetrical as Genovese portrays it."Genovese, Eugene D. is the author of 'World the Slaveholders Made Two Essays in Interpretation', published 1988 under ISBN 9780819562043 and ISBN 0819562041.
