Review
"Asch's history traces and illuminates the development of white racism and total political domination over the majority black population in Sunflower County. The last chapter was so riveting that I was reading past midnight."--Charles McLaurin, former field secretary, Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee
"Through vivid, accurate portraits of two Mississippians locked in deadly embrace, Chris Myers Asch shows why blacks remain on the bottom in Sunflower County, Mississippi, today. We may still blind ourselves to the ways that the social system after 1990 is still totally unfair to African Americans, but to do so, we will have to burn--or ignore--"The Senator and the Sharecropper"."--James W. Loewen, author of "Lies My Teacher Told Me"
"Weaves a story around these two main characters that is all too familiar to those who understand the tragic history of racism in the South."--"The Journal of Mississippi History"
"Asch does a commendable job illuminating mid-twentieth century cotton kingdom economics."--"Publisher's Weekly"
"Asch's book is a well-researched, incredibly detailed look at the Delta and continuing challenges to social justice."--"Booklist"
"Compelling...Asch uses the stories of Hamer and Eastland to understand the Sunflower County of the present, to comprehend the economic stagnation that African American residents still face today and to make sense of the unspoken rules that continue to go
