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. 410 0$aCreating the North American landscape. 606 $aBaumwollplantage$2swd 606 $aRassenverhoudingen$2gtt 606 $aKatoen$2gtt 606 $aPlantages$2gtt 606 $aPlantation life$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01065779 606 $aLandscapes$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01735625 606 $aHistorical geography$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00958122 606 $aCotton growing$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00880982 606 $aAfrican Americans$xCivil rights$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00799575 606 $aNoirs am©ericains$xDroits$z©Etats-Unis (Sud)$xHistoire$y20e si©ecle 606 $aNoirs am©ericains$xDroits$z©Etats-Unis (Sud)$xHistoire$y19e si©ecle 606 $aPaysage$z©Etats-Unis (Sud)$xHistoire$y20e si©ecle 606 $aPaysage$z©Etats-Unis (Sud)$xHistoire$y19e si©ecle 606 $aCoton$xCulture$z©Etats-Unis (Sud)$xHistoire$y20e si©ecle 606 $aCoton$xCulture$z©Etats-Unis (Sud)$xHistoire$y19e si©ecle 606 $aVie dans les plantations$z©Etats-Unis (Sud)$xHistoire$y20e si©ecle 606 $aVie dans les plantations$z©Etats-Unis (Sud)$xHistoire$y19e si©ecle 606 $aAfrican Americans$xCivil rights$zSouthern States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAfrican Americans$xCivil rights$zSouthern States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aLandscapes$zSouthern States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aLandscapes$zSouthern States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aCotton growing$zSouthern States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCotton growing$zSouthern States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aPlantation life$zSouthern States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPlantation life$zSouthern States$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aUSA$xS©udstaaten$2swd 607 $aSouthern States$2fast 607 $a©Etats-Unis (Sud)$xG©eographie historique 607 $aSouthern States$xHistorical geography 608 $aHistory. 610 $aGeography 615 07$aBaumwollplantage. 615 17$aRassenverhoudingen. 615 17$aKatoen. 615 17$aPlantages. 615 0$aPlantation life. 615 0$aLandscapes. 615 0$aHistorical geography. 615 0$aCotton growing. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xCivil rights. 615 6$aNoirs am©ericains$xDroits$xHistoire 615 6$aNoirs am©ericains$xDroits$xHistoire 615 6$aPaysage$xHistoire 615 6$aPaysage$xHistoire 615 6$aCoton$xCulture$xHistoire 615 6$aCoton$xCulture$xHistoire 615 6$aVie dans les plantations$xHistoire 615 6$aVie dans les plantations$xHistoire 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xCivil rights$xHistory 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xCivil rights$xHistory 615 0$aLandscapes$xHistory 615 0$aLandscapes$xHistory 615 0$aCotton growing$xHistory 615 0$aCotton growing$xHistory 615 0$aPlantation life$xHistory 615 0$aPlantation life$xHistory 676 $a975/.04 700 $aAiken$b Charles S$g(Charles Shelton),$f1938-$0123130 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910524701103321 996 $aThe Cotton Plantation South since the Civil War$92781905 997 $aUNINA
