More about the book
The book delves into the historical transformation of African bond-laborers into slaves, highlighting how this shift led to the emergence of color-based racism in Anglo-America. Allen examines Bacon's Rebellion to illustrate how the plantation elite granted privileges to poor white laborers based on their skin color, effectively "inventing the white race" as a societal construct. This analysis reveals the long-lasting implications of these racial dynamics, extending into contemporary society.
