Rather, Gutman argues that one must look to the Black family and the slaves extended kinship system to understand how cruc
3、ial achievements, such as the maintenance of a cultural heritage and the development of a communal consciousness, were possible. His findings compel attention.Gutman recreates the family and extended kinship structure mainly through an ingenious use of what any historian should draw upon, quantifiab
