The Second Great Emancipation

The Mechanical Cotton Picker, Black Migration, and How They Shaped the Modern South

Beschreibung

Uses statistical and narrative analysis to demonstrate that farm mechanization occurred in the Delta region of Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi after farm labourers moved away for new opportunities. Rather than pushing labour off the land, Holley argues, the mechanical cotton picker enabled the continuation of cotton cultivation.
