"My love of this book nearly waned the moment I heard Genovese had become a hardcore neo-con. But alas, that little fact can not undermine this brilliant and original look into the ability of slaves to resist despite the backbreaking oppression that surrounded them."
"Is the idea of resistance within accommodation a cop-out? Well, I'll pretend it isn't and just say that this is one of the most important books ever written on the world of slaves. Oh, and also the antebellum South was capitalistic, not non-capitalist. Don't believe me? Then read James Oakes!"
"Roll Jordan Roll is an extensive chronicle of the lives of African American slaves in the United States. It smashes the myth of a defeated, simple people without a culture. It details how a captive group of people from several different cultures retained many of their own traditions while adapting to their very difficult conditions. Rich with examples of how these strong people not only survived, but performed everyday acts of resistance, often with an artistic flair, this book will forever change your thinking about the other forefathers of the United States who permanently changed our culture."
