Slavery and Class in the American South reveals how work, family, and connections that made for socioeconomic differences among the enslaved of the South are critical components of the American slave narrative. Andrews's latest book... evinces encyclopedic knowledge, a searching intellect, deep commitments to African American history and culture, and a consistently clear and accessible style... think we will be returning to Slavery and Class in the American South for a long time - not only for the field-changing work it does but also for the even more massive work it should compel all of us to do.
