This remarkable collection of essays addresses social; historical; cultural; and labor issues as they affect a Southern plantation. The heart of the book is an examination of a "great experiment" to import Italian laborers to Sunnyside Plantation. From the crucible of tensions that this experiment produced; the reader obtains a concrete understanding of the implications of U.S. immigration policy; of changing labor relations following Reconstruction; and of a minority culture's introduction into the Delta.
