Cannibals all! or, Slaves without mastersGood Press, 21 Nov 2019 - 291 halaman In his work 'Cannibals all! or, Slaves without Masters', George Fitzhugh explores the intricate relationship between slavery in the antebellum South and the capitalist system. Written in a dynamic and persuasive style, Fitzhugh argues that the institution of slavery provides a more humane and just system than the supposed 'free labor' system of the North. His use of rhetorical devices and examples from contemporary society add layers of complexity to his arguments, making this book a thought-provoking read that challenges traditional views on slavery and capitalism. Situated in the literary context of the 19th century, Fitzhugh's work stands out as a bold and controversial critique of the prevailing economic ideologies of his time. George Fitzhugh, a prominent Southern intellectual and social theorist, was known for his unconventional views on slavery and social hierarchy. His background as a lawyer and plantation owner undoubtedly influenced his perspective on these issues, shedding light on the motivations behind his writing. I highly recommend 'Cannibals all! or, Slaves without Masters' to readers interested in exploring the complexities of slavery, capitalism, and social justice in history. |
