| Abstract |
"Southern Enclosure is among the first studies to explore that process through the interpretive lens of settler colonialism. Focusing on east central Mississippi, home of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, it situates enclosure in the long history of dispossession that began with Indian Removal. The project follows elite white landowners and Black and Choctaw farmers from World War II to 1960-the period when the old, labor-intensive farm structure collapsed. To acknowledge that this process occurred on taken land is to view the records of agricultural agents, segregationist politicians, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) as traces of ongoing colonization"-- Provided by publisher. |
