White Over Black
American Attitudes toward the Negro, 1550-1812
By Christopher Leslie Brown, Peter H. Wood, Winthrop D. Jordan | Publisher: Omohundro Institute and UNC Press
About the book
In 1968, Winthrop D. Jordan set out in encyclopedic detail the evolution of white Englishmen’s and Anglo-Americans' perceptions of blacks, perceptions of difference used to justify race-based slavery, and liberty and justice for whites only. This second edition, with new forewords by historians Christopher Leslie Brown and Peter H. Wood, reminds us that Jordan’s text is still the definitive work on the history of race in America in the colonial era. Every book published to this day on slavery and racism builds upon his work; all are judged in comparison to it; none has surpassed it.
