Shadow of the Plantation (Hardcover): Charles S. Johnson Shadow of the Plantation (Hardcover)
Charles S. Johnson
R4,148 Discovery Miles 41 480 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Shadow of the Plantation focuses on descendants of slaves in one rural Southern community in the early part of this century. In the process, Johnson reviews the troubled history of race relations in the United /States. When reread half a century after it was first written, Shadow of the Plantation is clearly revealed as a remarkably perceptive and fresh comment on race relations and the triumph of individuals over circumstances.Charles Johnson's book is significant for its use of multiple methodologies. The research took place in an ecological setting that was a dynamic element of the life of the community. The book is a multifaceted, interpretive survey of the 612 black families that composed the rural community of Macon County, Alabama, in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Johnson describes and analyzes their families, economic situation, education, religious activities, recreational life, and health practices.Shadow of the Plantation manages to be both historically accurate and foresighted at the same time. It is as much a book about today as it is a discussion of yesterday. This volume is an important study that will be of value to sociologists, anthropologists, and black studies specialists.

Bitter Canaan - Story of the Negro Republic (Paperback, New Ed): Charles S. Johnson Bitter Canaan - Story of the Negro Republic (Paperback, New Ed)
Charles S. Johnson
R1,472 Discovery Miles 14 720 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

A neglected classic, unpublished until now, Bitter Canaan is a historical-sociological account of Liberian society. Written in 1930 and revised in 1948 by the influential, pioneering black sociologist Charles S. Johnson, it has remained talked about but unknown. Founded in 1821, Liberia was conceived as a haven for freed American slaves. Johnson traces the historical development of American race relations that lead to the emigration of thousands of blacks to Liberia. The struggles in leaving America and settling the African wilderness are detailed. He shows how a Liberian nationality evolved and how the social, economic, and politi-cal foundations of the nascent state affected its history. His critical study of American corporate intervention in Liberian society in the twentieth century has the flair of contemporary political analysis.

The Collapse of Cotton Tenancy - Summary of Field Studies and Statistical Surveys, 1933-1935 (Paperback): Charles S. Johnson,... The Collapse of Cotton Tenancy - Summary of Field Studies and Statistical Surveys, 1933-1935 (Paperback)
Charles S. Johnson, Edwin R Embree, W W Alexander
R975 Discovery Miles 9 750 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The cotton farmers, although adding a billion dollars annually to the wealth of the world, are the most impoverished and backward of all the large groups of producers in America. Their status demands complete dependence; it requires no education and demands no initiative since the landlord determines the choice of crop, the method of cultivation, and the method of sale. The authors discuss the declining market of cotton and suggest a re-homesteading project as a solution for the tenant farmers. Originally published in 1935.

Here is a new approach to race relations in the South. One of the fundamental purposes of the authors is the presentation of programs reflecting the better practices that are often ignored by the press in favor of a noisy antiracial demagoguery." The survey gives this region credit for what it has accomplished."
