Winthrop Jordan

Jordan is best known for his book White Over Black: American Attitudes Toward the Negro, 1550-1812,[1] published in 1968, which earned the National Book Award in History and Biography,[2] the Bancroft Prize, and other honors. Jordan’s assertion in White Over Black that English perceptions about color, Christianity, manners, sexuality, and social hierarchy contributed to their "unthinking decision" to commence the trans-Atlantic slave trade and crystallized by the late eighteenth century into a race-based justification for chattel slavery, had a profound impact on historians’ understanding of both slavery and racism.

Historical inquiries into race also inevitably overlap with studies of gender, class, nationalism, warfare, imperialism, slavery, genocide, and more. Scholars do agree that race is both a socially and historically contingent category of analysis. Yet, largely as a result of the 19th- and 20th-century history of scientific racism and anti-Semitism, race has a specific resonance in contemporary society.
