Branches without Roots
Gerald David Jaynes
This major new study draws on thousands of previously untapped sources and statistics to reconstruct the socioeconomic history of the antebellum plantation and the birth of the free black worker. Jaynes thoroughly reexamines the symbiotic nature of the sharecropping system for both planters and workers and analyzes the social and economic effects of sharecropping on the larger social structure.
