Reviews
"This is the best treatment scholars have of black life in a southern state at the beginning of the twentieth century."--Howard N. Rabinowitz, Journal of American History"Dittmer has a faculty for lucid exposition of complicated subjects. This is especially true of the sections on segregation, racial politics, disfranchisement, woman's suffrage and prohibition, the neo-slavery in agriculture, and the racial violence whose threat and reality hung like a pall over all of Georgia throughout the period."--Donald L. Grant, Georgia Historical Quarterly
