despite revision of the traditional historiography, african american slaves and women remained in the periphery of studies of the chesapeake until the 1960s. winthrop d. jordan's "white over black: american attitudes toward the negro, 1550–1812" (1968) offered the first interpretation of the roles of women and slaves in the chesapeake colonies. since the 1960s, scholars have produced broad examinations of colonial chesapeake society. gerald w. mullin's "flight and rebellion: slave resistance in eighteenth-century virginia" (1972), edmund s. morgan's "american slavery, american freedom: the ordeal of colonial virginia" (1975), lois g. carr and lorena s. walsh's article "the planter's wife: the experience of white women in seventeenth-century maryland" (1977) printed in the "william and mary quarterly", rhys isaac's "the transformation of virginia, 1740–1790" (1982), and jan lewis's "the pursuit of happiness: family and values in jefferson's virginia" (1983) and kathleen d. brown's "good wives, nasty wenches, and anxious patriarchs: gender, race, and power in colonial virginia" (1996) offer analyses of women, slaves, and poorer whites in the chesapeake.
