Know about the book -

White Over Black is written by Winthrop D. Jordan and published by UNC Press Books. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0807838683 (ISBN 10) and 9780807838686 (ISBN 13).

In 1968, Winthrop D. Jordan set out in encyclopedic detail the evolution of white Englishmen’s and Anglo-Americans' perceptions of blacks, perceptions of difference used to justify race-based slavery, and liberty and justice for whites only. This second edition, with new forewords by historians Christopher Leslie Brown and Peter H. Wood, reminds us that Jordan’s text is still the definitive work on the history of race in America in the colonial era. Every book published to this day on slavery and racism builds upon his work; all are judged in comparison to it; none has surpassed it.
