In the past twenty-five years historians of slavery have largely written books and articles that fit within the debates framed by or paradigms used by these historians when describing American slavery.
The central works of this canon are Winthrop Jordan's White Over Black (1968), Philip Curtin's The Atlantic Slave Trade (1969), John Blassingame's The Slave Community (19), Peter Wood's Black Majority (1974), Eugene Genovese's Roll, Jordan, Roll (1974), Edmund Morgan's American Slavery, American Freedom (1975), and Herbert Gutman's The Black Family in Slavery and Freedom (1976).
Building upon the work of Frank Tannenbaum, Kenneth Stampp, and others, a new generation of scholars stepped forward and crafted new, intriguing works that have since formed the core readings for many a seminar on American slavery. The 1960s and 1970s were an amazing era in slavery studies.
