From Cotton Field to Schoolhouse: African American Education in Mississippi, 1862-1875
Christopher M. Span
An examination of Mississippi's politics and policies of postwar racial education. It finds that newly freed slaves made heroic efforts to participate in their own education, but too often the schooling was used to control and redirect the aspirations of the newly freed.
