A Curse upon the Nation: Race, Freedom, and Extermination in America and the Atlantic World
Kay Wright Lewis
From the inception of slavery, both Europeans and Africans feared their extermination by the other in a race war. In the US, says Kay Wright Lewis, this ingrained dread nourished a preoccupation with slave rebellions and would later help fuel the Civil War, thwart Reconstruction, justify Jim Crow, and even inform civil rights movement strategy.
