Land and labor in the household economy, 1680-1800 -- The troubles with tobacco, 1700-1750 -- The perils of prosperity, 1740-1800 -- part 2. White society. The origins of domestic patriarchy among white families -- From neighborhood to kin group : the development of a clan system -- The rise of the Chesapeake gentry -- part 3. Black society. From Africa to the Chesapeake : origins of black society -- Beginnings of the Afro-American family -- Slavery and segregation : race relations in the Chesapeake -- Afterword : the birth of the Old South.

Subject: This book is a major reinterpretation of the economic and political transformation of Chesapeake society from 1680 to 1800. Building upon massive archival research in Maryland and Virginia, the author provides a comprehensive study of changing social relations--among both blacks and whites--in the eighteenth-century South. He links his arguments about class, gender, and race to the later social history of the South and to larger patterns of American development.
