Peonage
1915
Published in 1915, 'Peonage' by Lafayette M. Hershaw is a historical examination of forced labor practices and racial discrimination in the United States. The book focuses on how laws and societal norms have perpetuated peonage, particularly among African Americans, since the abolition of slavery. Hershaw analyzes the manipulation of labor laws in former slave-holding states, revealing how these legal frameworks have created new forms of servitude that exploit Black workers, effectively undermining the protections of the Thirteenth Amendment.
