"...The book is divided into two parts. In the first half Fortune bitterly and eloquently denounced the racism of white America which, in his view, had reduced the Negro to a position worse than slavery. Black people, he wrote, "are more absolutely under the control of the Southern whites; they are more systematically robbed of their labor; they are more poorly housed, clothed and fed, than under the slave regime." In the second half of the book Fortune wandered into the bypaths of Marxism and Henry Georgism. He portrayed the Negro's position in the South as similar to that of the laboring and peasant classes the world over who found themselves under the oppressive tyranny of "land monopoly" and "corporation greed." (From foreword by James M. McPherson)
