Sharecroppers All

By Arthur Franklin Raper, Ira De A. Reid, Ira D. Reid

Book Overview

Here the term "sharecropper" has been expanded to include many nonfarm workers. For the real meaning of the term one should look to such matters as low wages, insecurity, and lack of opportunity for self-direction and responsible participation in community affairs. The national pattern of exploitation finds its most exaggerated expression in the South with differentials everywhere threatening to defeat the struggling democratic effort.
