Standing Their Ground: Small Farmers in North Carolina since the Civil War
Petty, Adrienne Monteith (Associate Professor of History, Assistant Professor of History, City College of New York)
This book explores a local iteration of a profound human experience: the transformation of agriculture. Focusing on small farm owners in North Carolina from the post-Civil War era to the post-Civil Rights era, it argues that they resisted changes to farming that did not square with their agrarian ideology. However, the antidemocratic character of the Jim Crow South weakened their resistance.
