Description
"This is the best treatment scholars have of black life in a southern state at the beginning of the twentieth century." -- Howard N.
Rabinowitz, Journal of American History "The author shows clearly and forcefully the ways in which this [white] system abused and controlled the black lower caste in Georgia." -- Lester C.
Lamon, American Historical Review. "Dittmer has a faculty for lucid exposition of complicated subjects.
This is especially true of the sections on segregation, racial politics, disfranchisement, woman's suffrage and prohitibion, the neo-slavery in agriculture, and the racial violence whose threat and reality hung like a pall over all of Georgia throughout the period." -- Donald L.
Grant, Georgia Historical Quarterly.
