Chained in Silence: Black Women and Convict Labor in the New South - Justice, Power, and Politics
Talitha L. LeFlouria
In 1868, the state of Georgia began to make its rapidly growing population of prisoners available for hire. The resulting convict leasing system ensnared not only men but also African American women. In this vivid work, Talitha L. LeFlouria draws from an array of primary sources to piece together the stories of these women, recounting what they endured and what their labour accomplished.
