Produktbeschreibung

"This book will attract a lot of attention, and rightly so. It sheds new light of interpretation on North Carolina's historical experience. On a more general level, the work will serve as a model of what Marxian analysis at its near best can say about historical experience in an American context, and that should interest anyone with an open mind on historical interpretation."--Richard Sylla, North Carolina State University
