Summary

""Native Sons" is an eloquent book about social relationships that spanned centuries and continents, relations between former household slaves and their former masters, between conscripts and commanders, between demobilized veterans and well-off civilian villagers, between veterans and states. These relationships--articulated in idioms of patronage and obligations, rights and republicanism--should make us wary of attaching a 'post' to every colony, empire, and nation we talk about."--Luise White, author of "The Assassination of Herbert Chitepo: Texts and Politics in Zimbabwe"

Author Biography

Gregory Mann is assistant professor of history at Columbia University.
