Kings of Mississippi examines how a twentieth-century black
middle-class family navigated life in rural Mississippi. The book
introduces seven generations of a farming family and provides an
organic examination of how the family experienced life and economic
challenges as one of few middle-class black families living and
working alongside the many struggling black and white sharecroppers
and farmers in Gallman, Mississippi. Family narratives and census
data across time and a socio-ecological lens help assess how race,
religion, education, and key employment options influenced economic
and non-economic outcomes. Family voices explain how intangible
beliefs fueled socioeconomic outcomes despite racial, gender, and
economic stratification. The book also examines the effects of
stratification changes across time, including: post-migration;
inter- and intra-racial conflicts and compromises; and, strategic
decisions and outcomes. The book provides an unexpected glimpse at
how a family's ethos can foster upward mobility into the
middle-class.
