American Congo: The African American Freedom Struggle in the Delta


Harrison, North Carolina Historical Review. This involved the subjugation of a largely nonwhite labor force through the near total control of both the economic and local political systems and reflected the application of modern capital, management, and corporate organizational systems to previously underdeveloped agricultural and extractive economies. The author presents a convincing argument that the economic transformation of the Delta lands combined an enlightened and sophisticated capitalism with an oppressive and exploitive labor system.

Her book is one harrowing read, leavened by the stunning heroism of indomitable resistance. The American South, — This book should be required reading for students of Southern, African American, and labor history. No longer does this heavily black, white-supremacist plantation region float in American and southern exceptionalism.

Her Delta belongs to the colonized world of the twentieth century, rising and failing in rhythm with the colonies of Asia and Africa as a result of the same world wars. In the Delta as in other colonies, struggle proves long, but also fruitful. The digital Loeb Classical Library loebclassics.
