Black and White: Land, Labor, and Politics in the South'Black and White: Land, Labor, and Politics in the South' by T. Thomas Fortune is an insightful exploration of the economic inequality and systematic racism still present in America today. Originally published in the 19th century, Fortune's powerful analysis of the connection between capitalism and racism reveals how America's racial hierarchy is rooted in economic exploitation. With actionable arguments for progress, including the power of voting and a non-exclusionary democracy, this book remains a timely and radical call to action. |
