Using countless previously untapped manuscript sources, he documents black resilience in the face of the pervasive indifference of slaveholders toward slaves and their families. This new paperback edition of Speculators and Slaves offers a substantial new Introduction that advances a major thesis of master-slave relationships. By exploring the gulf between the slaveholders self-image as benevolent paternalists and their actual behavior, Tadman critiques the theories of close accommodation and paternalistic hegemony that are currently influential.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730614354208,"sku":"NEW0299118541","price":22.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/517XVNG32NL.jpg?v=1779431764","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/speculators-and-slaves-masters-traders-and-slaves-in-the-old-south-0299118541","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
