Aptheker is at best a pedestrian historian, and his record of being an apologist for Stalinism is long and sordid. Whatever contributions he made to the historiography of slavery [one could not rank him with a Genovese, certainly] and to the development of future generations of historians must be balanced against these political failings, especially because he himself so thoroughly mixed politics and historical scholarship.

CB: The rank Genovese has is racist historian of slavery and the South.
