Review of 'Black reconstruction in America' on Goodreads

4 stars

Documentary through heavy quotation of the positions and arguments as the civil war concluded, the slave was freed and governed, and the Southern elite reasserted their power and control. Very clear in his indictments of capitalism, property, the plantation class, and the undermining of labor's shared interests in obtaining freedom, land, education, and representation. Long and thorough across the slave states as they differed along these themes. Long.
