The Slave Drivers: Black Agricultural Labor Supervisors in the Antebellum South (Contributions in Afro-American and African Studies: Contemporary Black Poets) - Hardcover
Despite increased interest in the lives of American slaves, the slave elite has been accorded only shallow study by historians, leaving the topic to unfavorable stereotypes, legend, and undocumented assertions. In this revelatory work William Van Deburg takes up the case of the black slave driver, examining the conflicting depictions given in histories, accounts of white southerners and antebellum travelers, and narratives of fugitive slaves and exbondsmen. He describes the daily lives and duties of black drivers, and refuting the stereotype of cruel collaborator, shows that their role neither psychologically destroyed slave drivers nor turned them into sadistic oppressors. Socially and emotionally tied to their fellow slaves, the bondsmen identified with their interests more much closely than with those of the owner. Van Deburg concludes this valuable revisionist work with a useful essay on his primary sources.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The Florentine artist Agnolo Bronzino (1503-1572) has long been celebrated as the consummate court painter and his sumptuous portrayals of Duke Cosimo de' Medici and Duchess Eleonora de Toledo have become icons of Italian Renaissance art. In this volume, an international assembly of scholars advances modern perceptions of Bronzino's art by applying fresh research paradigms not only to the well-known portraits, but also to other painted subjects, frescoes, and tapestries within the context of ancient Roman precedents, Renaissance European court culture, and postmodernist theory. The seven essays supplement two recent Bronzino exhibitions in New York and Florence (2010) by addressing Bronzino's portraiture, creative process, and tapestry production as well as past and present attitudes towards nudity, sexuality, landscapes, and poetic satire in Bronzino's imagery.
