    The Slave Community by John W Blassingame is a significant revisionist work that places the slave as an individual at the centre of its analysis and argument. In this book, Blassingame challenges the Elkin's thesis, arguing that slaves were able to retain significant sections of their African cultures through examination across several early chapters of cultural features such as music, religion, and folklore, and analysing slave familial structures and relationships. Blassingame rejects suggestions that slaves passively accepted their enslavement, contending that slaves kept up continual resistance both through the creation of an African slave culture, and through rebellion and flight, which he examines in a separate chapter. He acknowledges…
