After the Civil War, as Black freedmen prepared to exercise their new voting rights in Georgia, white supremacist groups rose to restrict their ability to participate at the polls. Georgians faced a new prospect for brokering a class-based electoral coalition of white yeomen and Black freedmen. The failure of Reconstruction echoes today as Georgia remains a voting rights battleground. This book details this struggle for racial justice and democracy in postwar Georgia, with an eye on issues that have persisted more than 150 years later.
Richard Hogan is a professor emeritus in sociology at Purdue University. He has published two previous books on Colorado frontier towns and on San Diego suburbs, along with dozens of shorter papers on everything from earnings inequality to community opposition to group homes.
