Synopsis
This elegant work intertwines the life histories of a staunch segregationist and his sharecropper nemesis as they come to confront each other on the national political stage at the height of the civil rights struggle. Illustrated., This is the story of the epic struggle for black equality in the 20th century told through the deeply intertwined life histories of the staunch segregationist and wealthy cotton planter, Senator James O. Eastland, and his sharecropper nemesis, Fannie Lou Hamer, who became the spiritual leader of the civil rights movement., The epic struggle for black equality in the twentieth century, told through the deeply intertwined life histories of the staunch segregationist and his sharecropper nemesis. "The Senator and the Sharecropper" is the story of two larger-than-life personalities from one humble corner of the Mississippi Delta: the senator, James O. Eastland, a fabulously wealthy cotton planter and one of the most powerful figures in the U.S. Senate, and the sharecropper, Fannie Lou Hamer, who grew up desperately poor a few miles from Eastland's plantation. During Eastland's long tenure as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, he ruthlessly and effectively bottled up civil rights legislation on Capitol Hill. From Hamer's lowly origins, she emerged as a spiritual leader of the civil rights movement that eventually toppled Eastland--a woman who "shook the foundations of the nation," in the words of Andrew Young. "The Senator and the Sharecropper" tells how these two pivotal figures came to confront one another on the national political stage at the height of the civil rights struggle. Their intertwined histories--set against a backdrop of Sunflower County's rise and fall as a center of cotton agriculture--offer a powerful window onto the unraveling of Jim Crow during the upheavals of the 1960s and, in our own time, the persistence of profound inequality in the post-civil rights era., The epic struggle for black equality in the 20th century - told through the deeply intertwined life histories of the staunch segregationist senator and his sharecropper nemesis., The story of two larger-than-life personalities from one humble corner of the Missippi Delta: the senator, James O. Eastland, a fabulously wealthy cotton planter and the sharecropper, Fannie Lou Hamer, who grew up desperately poor a few miles from Eastland's plantation. Asch charts the epic struggle for black equality in the 20th century by telling the story of the two deeply intertwined life histories of the staunch segregationist senator and his sharecropper nemesis.

- 0***1 (1557)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThis book arrived within the time period given and was in the 'very good' condition described. Unfortunately, only being packaged in a plastic bag to traverse the Atlantic meant that all four corners got a battering (I would be happy to pay bit more in future for a bit of cardboard support in packaging) but all in all, the price was good and overall service for books that are difficult to get over here, I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend this seller. Will buy again from them.
