The paper industry, which has played an important role in the southern economy since the 1930's, has been particularly neglected. Using previously untapped legal records and oral history interviews, Timothy Minchin provides the first in-depth account of the struggle to integrate southern paper mills. Minchin describes how jobs in the southern paper industry were strictly segregated prior to the 1960's, with black workers confined to low-paying, menial positions.
