Slavery by Another Name the Re Enslavement of Black Americans from the Civil War

by Douglas A. Blackmon

2009

This investigative work reveals a disturbing post-Civil War reality where newly freed Black Americans were systematically re-enslaved through a corrupt penal system. It details how convict leasing laws allowed states and businesses to exploit Black laborers, effectively perpetuating a brutal system of forced servitude long after the Emancipation Proclamation. Essential reading for understanding the deep roots of racial injustice and economic exploitation in America.
