Black and White: Land, Labor and Politics in the South is a historical non-fiction book written by T. Thomas Fortune and originally published in 1884. The book focuses on the political and social climate of the American South after the Civil War and during the Reconstruction Era. Fortune, a prominent African American journalist and civil rights activist, provides a unique perspective on the struggles and challenges faced by both black and white Americans during this time period. The book is divided into three parts: land, labor, and politics. In the first section, Fortune discusses the issues surrounding land ownership and access for black Americans, including the effects of sharecropping and the lack of land distribution. The second section focuses on labor, including the exploitation of black workers and the rise of labor unions. The final section delves into the political climate of the South, including the disenfranchisement of black voters and the rise of white supremacist groups. Throughout the book, Fortune argues for the need for social and political reform in order to address the systemic racism and inequality that existed in the South. He also highlights the important role that education and economic empowerment can play in improving the lives of black Americans. Overall, Black and White: Land, Labor and Politics in the South is a powerful and insightful exploration of the complex issues surrounding race and politics in the American South during the late 19th century. It remains a significant and influential work in the history of civil rights and social justice in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
