Kevin,

There was of course the book of essays edited by Ann Lane in 1971,_The Debate Over Slavery: Stanley Elkins and His Critics_. Elkins in many respects sparked much of the work on slavery in the late 1960s and 1970s such as that by John Blassingame, Eugene Genovese, Herbert Gutman, and many others. The point was that the slave community and its various institutions shielded black personality from the corrosive effects of the slave system. That has been much debated to this day. The work of Peter Kolchin for example serves as a good guide to the debate and scholarship.
