as  theory. I recently read the Jordan and Walsh book which is actually a good account by two journalists of just how bad indentured servitude could be, but even the authors admit that they are deviating from the use of "slavery" by mainstream historians. In the introduction, they note that "It invites uproar to describe as slaves any of these hapless whites ..." (p. 14) but then goes on to note: "Of course, black slavery had hideous aspects that whites did not experience ...." (p. 15) This attempt to redefine "slavery" to include indentured servitude and to contrast this with a new "black slavery" that had even more "hideous aspects" is not a usage that mainstream historians have adopted
