Between 1940 and 1974, the number of African American farmers fell from 681,790 to just 45,594a drop of 93 percent. In his hardhitting book, historian Pete Daniel analyzes this decline and chronicles black farmers fierce struggles to remain on the land in the face of discrimination by bureaucrats in the U.S. Department of Agriculture. He exposes the shameful fact that at the very moment civil rights laws promised to end discrimination, hundreds of thousands of black farmers lost their hold on the land as they were denied loans, information, and access to the programs essential to survival in a capitalintensive farm structure.More than a matter of neglect of these farmers and their rights, this passive nullification consisted of a blizzard of bureaucratic obfuscation, blatant acts of discrimination and cronyism, violence, and intimidation. Dispossession recovers a lost chapter of the black experience in the American South, presenting a counternarrative to the conventional story of the progress achieved by the civil rights movement.

This book does a fantastic job of highlighting the struggles faced by African American farmers during the Civil Rights era. The depth of research and the personal stories included are really moving. I bought it to better understand the historical context for a class project, and it was incredibly helpful.

Dispossession and discrimination isn’t a topic that gets enough attention. This book does well to shed light on the history of African American farmers. I bought this for my book club and we had some great discussions, though some of my friends found it a bit slow-paced.
