"Michael Schwartz's book is really three books in one—an analysis of the structural changes that produced one of the most oppressive social systems the world has known (the one-crop cotton tenancy economy and the system of institutionalized racism and authoritarian one-party politics that was required to preserve the fragile economic arrangement); a theoretical analysis of the origins, mobilization, and outcome of insurgent challenges; and a meticulous application of that theory to the rise and collapse of the Populist movement."—Craig Jenkins, Theory and Society

An Neglected Classic

Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2007

After reading this, I could not help but scratch my head and ask myself why it is that this isn't more prominant in social movement theory / political sociology. The book provides an excellent framework for thinking about collective action and the logic of the emergence, and rise or decline of movements for radical change from below. This should be standard reading for undergrad/graduate students studying social movements and/or political processes.

Tasting Reality in a Scholarly Text

Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2013

My interest in the subject matter of this book comes from the writing that I have done over a 20-year period of time on various topics in North American agriculture. The articles that I wrote for the first 16 years of this period of time were published in the "Belt Pulley" magazine. Largely this body of writing began as a history of the individual old farm tractors and pieces of farm machinery that my family has collected and restored over the period of time since 1988. The restored tractors that our family currently own, date only from the period of time from 1936 until 1955. As a consequence, the first articles that I have written were largely limited to this brief period of time.

Over the years, however, it has become necessary to broaden the range of topics of the articles and to expand the scope of the time period involved. Additionally, following the demise of the Belt Pulley magazine it was necessary to move all the articles over to the website--WellsSouth.com/blog. Accordingly, the entire Golden Era of North American agriculture from 1865 down through the present becomes available for topics.

The end of the Civil War in the United States, brought about vast changes in the marketing of farm products. These changes were not often equitable and, thus, were not often welcomed. Accordingly, much of the early history of agriculture in the United States is bound up in protest--indeed a vast pool of protest. Protest involving either the expansion of money in circulation--the inclusion greenbacks in the circulation of currency and the coinage of silver (either free coinage or on the basis of a ratio--perhaps 16 to 1) or protests involving the expansion or protection of markets by use of the tariff.

Recently, I have been wanting to understand and "feel" the protest on the part of the vast number of farmers in the 1880s in favor of silver being added to the money supply to expand the rather small amount of gold-backed money in circulation in the late 1880s. My goal in this endeavor has been feel the same emotions that led farmers to vote for the Populist Party in such numbers that allowed the Populist Party to sweep control of the United States House of Representatives in 1890 and to experience the same emotions that the farmer/delegates felt at the 1896 Democratic National Convention when they were swept off their feet upon hearing the "Cross of Gold" speech by William Jennings Bryan.

Michael Schwartz's book is a heavily footnoted and densely written scholarly book that, at first, seemed unlikely to convey any emotional feelings at all--promising only intellectual and analytical satisfaction on the subject matter. However, as the reader moves through Schwartz's book, he or she, will find, quite surprisingly, a real feeling of injustice arising over the system of perpetual debt that consciously seeks to chain the tenant to a piece of land not owned by the tenant. Soon the text of the "Cross of Gold" speech is having the effect that William Jennings Bryan desired.

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2008

I agree with Michael from NY. Schwartz's sudy is a superb analysis of farm tennancy and the dynamics of protest in late 19th century South. Schwartz's methodology and thesis have been assailed by many historians of this era in southern history but no one can deny that his analysis is grounded in the primary sources and offers an insight into the tennancy system that few studies of this phenomenon can match.
