false 178769 2 This scholarly, carefully researched book studies one of the most overlooked minority groups in America--the Chinese of the Mississippi Delta. During Reconstruction, white plantation owners imported Chinese sharecroppers in the hope of replacing their black laborers. In the beginning they were classed with blacks. But the Chinese soon moved into the towns and became, almost without exception, owners of small groceries. Loewen details their astounding transition from "black" to essentially white status with an insight seldom found in studies of race relationships in the Deep South. 172708 1971 The Mississippi Chinese : Between Black and White, Second Edition total:3|4:1|3:2| 3 10 9 0 0 0 false false Thu Nov 27 19:37:30 -0800 2008 Thu Nov 27 19:37:30 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Thu Oct 30 18:54:53 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 30 18:54:53 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri Oct 10 08:57:34 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 10 08:57:34 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Fri Aug 22 14:39:55 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 22 14:39:55 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Jun 30 19:36:15 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 30 19:36:15 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri Mar 28 20:59:22 -0700 2008 Fri Mar 28 20:59:25 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Sep 19 21:57:06 -0700 2007 Wed Sep 19 21:57:06 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Tue Sep 18 13:34:03 -0700 2007 Tue Sep 18 13:34:03 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Thu Jul 19 13:44:16 -0700 2007 Thu Jul 19 13:44:16 -0700 2007
