subcutaneous ha recensito Slavery and the numbers game di Herbert George Gutman
massive trigger warning for this book (not the review)
4 stelle
By way of critiquing the incredibly anti-Black work of Robert Fogel & Stanley Engerman, this book reemphasizes just how devastating and hellish the legal chattel slavery regime was. Probably best "read" by referring to specific sections relevant to an aspect of u.s. slavery of which you're uncertain, or concerned you're being fed lies or justifying propaganda about. Unfortunately explicitly reproduces the u.s.-centrism of anglophone slavery historiography, though that's understandable considering the book being critiqued does the same thing.
