| Abstract | "Disturbing Development in the Jim Crow South explores how Black employees within the United States Department of Agriculture re-worked federal mandates and re-imagined federal projects to serve their own collective goals to support Black farmer survival within the Jim Crow South. Domosh focuses on the story of Laura R. Daly, one of the first Black women to be appointed as an agent in the USDA's extension service within the state of Alabama"-- Provided by publisher. |
