The demise of the plantation has been pronounced many times, but the large industrial farms survive as significant parts of, not just the South's, but the nation's agriculture."In this sweeping historical and geographical account, Aiken traces the development of the Southern cotton plantation since the Civil War—from the emergence of tenancy after 1865, through its decline during the Depression, to the post-World War Two development of the large industrial farm. Tracing the geographical changes in plantation agriculture and the plantation regions after 1865, Aiken shows how the altered landscape of the South has led many to the false conclusion that the plantation has vanished. In fact, he explains, while certain regions of the South have reverted to other uses, the cotton plantation survives in a form that is, in many ways, remarkably similar to that of its antebellum predecessors. Aiken also describes the evolving relationship of African-Americans to the cotton plantation during the thirteen decades of economic, social, and political changes from Reconstruction through the War on Poverty—including the impact of alterations in plantation agriculture and the mass migration of Southern blacks to the urban North during the twentieth century. Richly illustrated with more than 130 maps and photographs (many original and many from FSA photographers), The Cotton Plantation South is a vivid and colorful account of landscape, geography, race, politics, and civil rights as they relate to one of America's most enduring and familiar institutions.Creating the North American landscape.BaumwollplantageswdRassenverhoudingengttKatoengttPlantagesgttPlantation lifefast(OCoLC)fst01065779Landscapesfast(OCoLC)fst01735625Historical geographyfast(OCoLC)fst00958122Cotton growingfast(OCoLC)fst00880982African AmericansCivil rightsfast(OCoLC)fst00799575Noirs am©ericainsDroits©Etats-Unis (Sud)Histoire20e si©ecleNoirs am©ericainsDroits©Etats-Unis (Sud)Histoire19e si©eclePaysage©Etats-Unis (Sud)Histoire20e si©eclePaysage©Etats-Unis (Sud)Histoire19e si©ecleCotonCulture©Etats-Unis (Sud)Histoire20e si©ecleCotonCulture©Etats-Unis (Sud)Histoire19e si©ecleVie dans les plantations©Etats-Unis (Sud)Histoire20e si©ecleVie dans les plantations©Etats-Unis (Sud)Histoire19e si©ecleAfrican AmericansCivil rightsSouthern StatesHistory20th centuryAfrican AmericansCivil rightsSouthern StatesHistory19th centuryLandscapesSouthern StatesHistory20th centuryLandscapesSouthern StatesHistory19th centuryCotton growingSouthern StatesHistory20th centuryCotton growingSouthern StatesHistory19th centuryPlantation lifeSouthern StatesHistory20th centuryPlantation lifeSouthern StatesHistory19th centuryUSAS©udstaatenswdSouthern Statesfast©Etats-Unis (Sud)G©eographie historiqueSouthern StatesHistorical geographyHistory.GeographyBaumwollplantage.Rassenverhoudingen.Katoen.Plantages.Plantation life.Landscapes.Historical geography.Cotton growing.African AmericansCivil rights.Noirs am©ericainsDroitsHistoireNoirs am©ericainsDroitsHistoirePaysageHistoirePaysageHistoireCotonCultureHistoireCotonCultureHistoireVie dans les plantationsHistoireVie dans les plantationsHistoireAfrican AmericansCivil rightsHistoryAfrican AmericansCivil rightsHistoryLandscapesHistoryLandscapesHistoryCotton growingHistoryCotton growingHistoryPlantation lifeHistoryPlantation lifeHistory975/.04Aiken Charles S(Charles Shelton),1938-123130MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910524701103321The Cotton Plantation South since the Civil War2781905UNINA
