'A Social, Economic, and Political Study of Blacks in the Louisiana Delta, 1865-1880,' is an investigation of the post-emancipation experiences of former slaves in four parishes in the Louisiana Delta. Carroll, Madison, Tensas, and Concordia are the four parishes studied. The author analyzes the struggle of the ex-slaves to acquire land, carve out niches for themselves and their families in the free market economy of a plantation district, build social, cultural, and political institutions, educate their children, and cope with the negative impact of the counter-revolution in post-Reconstruction Louisiana / acase@tulane.edu
