Dispossession: Discrimination against African American Farmers in the Age of Civil Rights 1st edition
Pete Daniel
Between 1940 and 1974, the number of African American farmers fell from 681,790 to just 45,594 - a drop of 93%. In his hard-hitting book, historian Pete Daniel analyses this decline and chronicles black farmers' fierce struggles to remain on the land in the face of discrimination by bureaucrats in the US Department of Agriculture.
