  • Masterless Men

    Poor Whites and Slavery in the Antebellum South

    par Keri Leigh Merritt ...
    Collections series Cambridge Studies on the American South
    Analyzing land policy, labor, and legal history, Keri Leigh Merritt reveals what happens to excess workers when a capitalist system is predicated on slave labor.

These poor ... En savoir plus
