Places the once kingly crop in historical perspective, showing how “cotton culture†was actually part of the larger culture of the United States despite many regarding its cultivation and sources as hopelessly backward. Through music and literature, and with special emphasis placed on the meaning of cotton to African Americans, D. Clayton Brown carries cotton's story to the present.
