Episode 430: The Slaveholders' Dilemma

Eugene Genovese was arguably the most important historian on the institution of slavery in the last half century. But his contributions to Southern history also covered the "Mind of the Master Class." Genovese took the South seriously as an intellectual force, and his 1992 "The Slaveholders' Dilemma" explores the complexities of Southern society and most importantly urges historians (and Americans) to find value in what the Southern tradition offers modern America. I discuss this book in Episode 430 of The Brion McClanahan Show.
