Andrews's magisterial study of an entire generation of slave narrators, more than 60 mid-nineteenth-century narratives reveal how work, family, skills, and connections made for social and economic differences among the enslaved of the South. Slave narrators disclosed class-based reasons for violence that broke out between 'impudent,' 'gentleman,' and 'lady' slaves and their resentful "mean masters." Andrews's far-reaching book shows that status and class played key roles in the self- and social awareness and in the processes of liberation portrayed in the narratives of the most celebrated fugitives from U.S. slavery, such as Frederick Douglass, Harriet Jacobs, William Wells Brown, and William and Ellen Craft. Slavery and Class in the American South explains why social and economic distinctions developed and how they functioned among the enslaved. Noting that the majority of the slave narrators came from the higher echelons of the enslaved, Andrews also pays close attention to the narratives that have received the least notice from scholars, those from the most exploited class, the 'field hands.' By examining the lives of the most and least acclaimed heroes and heroines of the slave narrative, Andrews shows how the dividing edge of social class cut two ways, sometimes separating upper and lower strata of slaves to their enslavers' advantage, but at other times fueling pride, aspiration, and a sense of just deserts among some of the enslaved that could be satisfied by nothing less than complete freedom"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: slaves and privileges -- Emerging class awareness -- Work, status, and social mobility -- Class and conflict: white and black -- The fugitive as class exemplar -- Epilogue: "the record of which we feel so proud today". 650 0 $a Slaves' writings, American $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Slaves $z Southern States $v Biography $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a African Americans $z Southern States $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Slaves $z Southern States $x Social conditions $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Slavery $z Southern States $x History $y 19th century. 650 7 $a African Americans $x Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799570 650 7 $a Slavery. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120426 650 7 $a Slaves. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120522 650 7 $a Slaves $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120577 650 7 $a Slaves' writings, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120585 651 7 $a Southern States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244550 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Andrews, William L., 1946- author. $t Slavery and class in the American South $d New York, NY : Oxford University Press, [2019] $z 9780190908393 $w (DLC) 2018048437 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117022829.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190502031302.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=95A8B1046CA011E9A39CB90697128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
