Slavery in the Americas: A Comparative Study of Virginia and Cuba

The Insolent Slave
ISBN: 9781570034145 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. While scholars of American history have written extensively about slave insurgency in the form of rebellion, William E. Wiethoff considers a more subtle form of resistance that caused considerable consternation among slave-holders -- that of insolence. Though he finds insolence to have been a rarely and carefully used "rhetoric of resistance, " Wiethoff also finds the practice to have been one to which slaveowners were especially sensitive and which they sought to prevent by legislative, social, moral, and commercial means.
In this original contribution to the study of seventeenth-,... While scholars of American history have written extensively about slave insurgency in the form of rebellion, William E. Wiethoff considers a more subt...
