Radical Protest and Social Structure The Southern Farmers Alliance and Cotton Tenancy, 1880-1890

"Michael Schwartz's book is really three books in one--an analysis of the structural changes that produced one of the most oppressive social systems the world has known (the one-crop cotton tenancy economy and the system of institutionalized racism and authoritarian one-party politics that was required to preserve the fragile economic arrangement); a theoretical analysis of the origins, mobilization, and outcome of insurgent challenges; and a meticulous application of that theory to the rise and collapse of the Populist movement."--Craig Jenkins, Theory and SocietySchwartz, Michael is the author of 'Radical Protest and Social Structure The Southern Farmers Alliance and Cotton Tenancy, 1880-1890' with ISBN 9780226742359 and ISBN 0226742350.
