A Nation Under Our Feet: Black Political Struggles in the Rural South from Slavery to the Great Migration

by Steven Hahn

In The Nation, George M. Frederickson described A Nation Under Our Feet as “the most comprehensive account yet of black politics in the rural South before, during and after the Civil War.” Hahn’s book “is one of the most important works in American social history to appear in recent years”—”a major achievement and a landmark in African-American history.”
