Free Labor in an Unfree World: White Artisans in Slaveholding Georgia, 1789-1860
ISBN: 9780820326702 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. White male artisans in the antebellum South occupied a marginal and ambiguous social and professional position very unlike that of their northern counterparts. As skilled, free laborers in a slaveholding society, they did not fit into a defined social class. In the first book-length study of white tradespeople in the pre-Civil War South, Michele Gillespie highlights the complex world and lives of a nearly hidden population marginalized by a growing slave system. Gillespie demonstrates that the appearance of solidarity in the white antebellum South was false, that, in fact, strong class...
