''This is the best treatment scholars have of black life in a southern state at the beginning of the twentieth century.'' -- Howard N. Rabinowitz, Journal of American History ''The author shows clearly and forcefully the ways in which this [white] system abused and controlled the black lower caste in Georgia.'' -- Lester C. Lamon, American Historical Review.''Dittmer has a faculty for lucid exposition of complicated subjects. This is especially true of the sections on segregation, racial politics, disfranchisement, woman's suffrage and prohitibion, the neo-slavery in agriculture, and the racial violence whose threat and reality hung like a pall over all of Georgia throughout the period.'' -- Donald L. Grant, Georgia Historical Quarterly.
