Eugene D. Genovese Books

Eugene Genovese was an American historian renowned for his deep exploration of the American South and the institution of slavery. His scholarship was distinctly marked by an application of Marxist theory to analyze power dynamics, class structures, and the intricate relationships between enslavers and the enslaved. Later in his intellectual journey, he transitioned from leftist ideologies and Marxism to embrace traditionalist conservatism, a shift that shaped his subsequent writings and perspectives.
