Slavery by Another Name

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

The book exposes the forced labor practices and legal policies that effectively re-enslaved African Americans in the United States after the Civil War, particularly through convict leasing, debt peonage, and other forms of exploitation until World War II. It reveals the systemic and brutal ways in which these practices were used to subjugate Black Americans and maintain a racial caste system in the South.

Key points:

1. Neo-Slavery: The book discusses neo-slavery, a post-Civil War system in the South that exploited black Americans through forced labor and peonage, often disguised as criminal punishment.
