The World They Made Together: Black and White Values in Eighteenth-Century Virginia

"Ms. Sobel's book is a work of great importance, and not only to the scholars who will be its primary audience. . . . Ms. Sobel's assertion that--as C. Vann Woodward once put it--black and white southerners shared and molded a common culture' represents a bold departure from recent trends. . . . a stunning reinterpretation of colonial Virginia's culture."--Jan Lewis, The New York Times Book Review
