The invention of the white race

Author:Theodore Allen

Summary:This second of two volumes explores how the degradation of African bond-labourers into slaves produced, for the first time in Anglo-America, racism based on colour differences. It traces the historical roots of the white supremacism that led European-American workers to oppose Abolitionism.
