I've been reading everyone's posts and comments avidly, and decided this week to stay out of the business of commenting, as I felt like last week I did little more than chill conversation, which was not my desire. The results have been impressive. In general a lot of thinking going on here.
Let me direct everyone to a review essay on Genovese written by the impressive historian Walter Johnson. It calls attention to the Gramscian concept of hegemony, which is little understood. His discussion of it is helpful. If nothing else, it explains why Genovese focuses the way he does on paternalism and their dialectical slave responses--work slow downs, etc.
Look forward to discussion this week.
