Through an examination of employment contracts between plantation owners and their overseers, and the web of public and private law that surrounded them, this book challenges notions of a monolithic White male identity in the antebellum South. It considers how race provided White men access to the land and enslaved labor that were foundational to the plantation economy, but how the wealthiest of those men used contracts, public law, and plantation management schemes to limit the access points by which overseers, the first managerial class in the United States, could achieve upward mobility as both White people and as men. In navigating the legal and social parameters of their employment contracts, overseers negotiated a white masculinity that formed their managerial identity. This managerial identity carried the imprint of white supremacy necessary to preserve inequities on the plantation, and perhaps in our modern workplaces as well"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Plantations $x History $z Southern States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Plantation overseers $z Southern States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Plantations $z Southern States $x History $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Whites $x History $z Southern States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Masculinity $z Southern States $x History $y 19th century. 650 7 $a Masculinity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01011027 650 7 $a Plantation overseers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01739941 650 7 $a Plantations $x Economic aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01065803 650 7 $a Plantations $x Management. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01065812 650 7 $a Whites $x Race identity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01174825 651 7 $a Southern States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244550 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a McMurtry-Chubb, Teri A. $t Race unequals $d Lanham : Lexington Books, [2021] $z 9781498599078 $w (DLC) 2021004184 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230517011222.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=898B53EA8FC011ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
