The Sugar Masters: Planters and Slaves in Louisiana’s Cane World, 1820-1860
Richard Follett
"Until recently, scholars have viewed planters as either paternalistic lords who eschewed marketplace values or as entrepreneurs driven to business success. Follett offers a new view of the sugar masters as embracing both the capitalist market and a social ideology based on hierarchy, honor, and paternalism."--BOOK JACKET.
