Competition and Coercion: Blacks in the American economy, 1865 1914
is a reinterpretation of black economic history in the half-century
after Emancipation. Its central theme is that economic competition
and racial coercion jointly determined the material condition of
the blacks. The book identifies a number of competitive processes
that played important roles in protecting blacks from the racial
coercion to which they were peculiarly vulnerable. It also
documents the substantial economic gains realized by the black
population between 1865 and 1914. Professor Higgs's account is
iconoclastic. It seeks to reorganize the present conceptualization
of the period and to redirect future study of black economic
history in the post-Emancipation period. It raises new questions
and suggests new answers to old questions, asserting that some of
the old questions are misleadingly framed or not worth pursuing at
all.
