Book Reviews of Slavery by Another Name: The Re-Enslavement of Black Americans from the Civil War to World War II

Book Review: Recommend Medal of Honor for Doug Blackmon
Summary: 5 Stars

Blackmon gets my highest commendation for superb research and presentation of a long forgotten and very, very ugly chapter in America's history. He has uncovered and exposed the exploitation, betrayal,and massive crime committed against black people in the state of ALABAMA. At the very least, the federal and state governments should create a MASSIVE JOBS PROGRAM expecially for black youth in ALABAMA (and Georgia, Louisiana, and Mississippi) as part of a comprehensive response to the plight of black people resulting from defacto slavery following "emancipation." Blackmon should get a medal of honor for his dilligence, focus, and bravery.

Summary of Slavery by Another Name: The Re-Enslavement of Black Americans from the Civil War to World War II

In this groundbreaking historical expose, Douglas A. Blackmon brings to light one of the most shameful chapters in American history-an "Age of Neoslavery" that thrived from the aftermath of the Civil War through the dawn of World War II.

Using a vast record of original documents and personal narratives, Douglas A. Blackmon unearths the lost stories of slaves and their descendants who journeyed into freedom after the Emancipation Proclamation and then back into the shadow of involuntary servitude shortly thereafter. By turns moving, sobering, and shocking, this unprecedented account reveals the stories of those who fought unsuccessfully against the re-emergence of human labor trafficking, the companies that profited most from neoslavery, and the insidious legacy of racism that reverberates today.
