Mastered by the Clock

Time, Slavery, and Freedom in the American South

Edición de la obra Mastered by the clock

Mastered by the Clock is the first work to explore the evolution of clock-based time consciousness in the American South.

Smith shows how and why southerners - particularly masters and their slaves - came to view the clock as a legitimate arbiter of time.
