Eugene Genovese

Eugene Dominic Genovese (19 Mei 1930 – 26 September 2012) adalah seorang sejarawan Amerika tentang perbudakan Amerika Selatan dan Amerika. Ia terkenal karena membawa perspektif Marxis dalam studi kekuasaan, kelas, dan hubungan antara pemilik perkebunan dan budak di Selatan. Bukunya Roll, Jordan, Roll: The World the Slaves Made memenangkan Penghargaan Bancroft. Dia kemudian meninggalkan sayap kiri dan Marxisme dan menganut konservatisme tradisionalis. Dia menulis selama Perang Dingin dan keyakinan politiknya dipandang oleh beberapa orang sebagai hal yang sangat kontroversial pada saat itu.

Kehidupan awal

Genovese lahir pada 19 Mei 1930, di Brooklyn, New York. Ayahnya adalah seorang pekerja pelabuhan imigran dan Eugene dibesarkan di keluarga kelas pekerja Italia-Amerika.

Pada tahun 1945, pada usia 15 tahun, ia bergabung dengan Partai Komunis AS, dan aktif dalam gerakan pemuda hingga ia dikeluarkan pada tahun 1950, pada usia 20 tahun, karena mengabaikan disiplin partai atau, sebagaimana ia berkata, "karena telah melakukan zig padahal [dia] seharusnya melakukan zag". Ia memperoleh gelar Bachelor of Arts dari Universitas Brooklyn pada tahun 1953 dan Master of Arts pada tahun 1955 dan gelar Ph.D. dalam sejarah pada tahun 1959, keduanya dari Universitas Columbia. Dia mengajar di selusin universitas lain, termasuk Yale, Cambridge dan Rutgers.

Ia kemudian diberhentikan dari dinas militer karena kecenderungan komunisnya.

A close analysis of works such as The Political Economy of Slavery shows his greatest lacunae: the minimizing of the significance of black struggle and the magnifying of whatever elements of passivity can be found among blacks insofar as they actively participated in the Civil War. Accommodation and the plantation as community are overdone themes . online
