Beschreibung:
Eugene D. Genovese is the author of the groundbreaking classic Roll, Jordan, Roll: The World the Slaves Made as well as many other books. Several were coauthored with his late wife, Elizabeth Fox-Genovese, including The Mind of the Master Class: History and Faith in the Southern Slaveholders' Worldview and Slavery in White and Black: Class and Race in the Southern Slaveholders' New World Order.
When in 2003, President Bush bestowed a National Humanities Medal on Elizabeth (Betsey) Fox-Genovese, citing her as 'a defender of reason and servant of faith', he recognized the achievements of a uniquely accomplished American intellectual. Written by Betsey's husband of thirty-seven years, this title tells her story.
