Eugene D. Genovese Pořadí knih
Eugene Genovese byl americký historik, který se zaměřil na studium amerického Jihu a otroctví. Jeho práce byla pozoruhodná tím, že aplikoval marxistickou perspektivu na analýzu moci, třídních vztahů a interakcí mezi plantážníky a otroky. Po opuštění levicových myšlenek a marxismu přijal tradiční konzervatismus, což ovlivnilo jeho pozdější autorské zaměření.
