Based on oral histories with African American activists and
community leaders, Life and Death in the Delta explores the civil
rights movement in several Mississippi communities in the context
of the region's history of white supremacy, racial oppression, and
African American cultural vitality. Terrorism, black poverty, and
economic exploitation produced a condition of collective trauma and
social suffering for thousands of black Deltans in the Twentieth
Century. This work reveals the impact of that oppression, and of
African American traditions of community service and leadership in
the lives of women and men who became activists. The result is a
sweeping history, told through the voices of ordinary people, of
how the civil rights movement operated on a local level: the
circumstances that made it thrive, the problems it faced, and the
dangers participants encountered on a daily basis.
