The American Peasantry - Southern Agricultural Labor and Its Legacy, 1850-1995, A Study in Political Economy - Ronald E. Seavoy - Hardback Bog -
Brand: Bloomsbury Publishing Plc
Description
A sweeping overview of the American peasantry: the largely sharecrop cultivators who, in Seavoy's analysis, rejected the labor norms of commercial agriculture. The study begins with pre-Civil War slave plantations and the landless white peasants who migrated to North America to escape full-time paid labor in Britain.
