Hardcover. Revised and expanded from the abbreviated 1981 issue: xxix, 247p., illustrated with a photo section on coated inserted stock and hardbound in tan cloth boards titled black and enclosed in photographic dust jacket. The sole intrusion of previous ownership is an Oregon bookseller's rubberstamps at the foot of half-title and titlepages, neat enough, an otherwise unmarked good copy: sound and clean. FYI, an earlier edition of the same book emphasized Osborne's pix over the text, which was cut back by omitted passages and the absence of two whole chapters. The book in hand is textually as the author wished it. Nº de ref. del artículo: 21875

Hardcover. Condición: Collectible-Like New. Through a tough-minded mix of journalism and oral history, Patsy Sims chronicles daily life in a community of impoverished workers behind southern Louisiana's 'cane curtain' in the 1970s. The world of the sugar cane plantations, isolated by rows of densely grown stalks, defined the lives of the blacks who lived and labored there, cut off from any prospects of better conditions by the wall of exploitation erected by the white growers.
