A new edition of a classic history of the Mississippi River Delta Development Arrested is a major reinterpretation of the 200-year-old conflict between African American workers and the planters of the Mississippi Delta. The book measures the impact of the plantation system on those who suffered its depredations firsthand, while tracing the decline and resurrection of plantation ideology in national public policy debate. Despite countless defeats under the planter regime, African Americans in the Delta continued to push forward their agenda for social and economic justice. Throughout this remarkably interdisciplinary book, ranging across fields as diverse as rural studies, musicology, development studies, and anthropology, Woods demonstrates the role of music—including jazz, rock and roll, soul, rap and, above all, the blues—in sustaining a radical vision of social change.

In 1988 the federal government established the Lower Mississippi Delta Development Commission (LMDDC). The first federally funded regional planning initiative in twenty years, the purpose of the Commission was to prepare a ten year economic development plan for the most impoverished region in the United States; a 219 county and parish area consisting of the sections of Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee. Approximately 40 percent of the eight million people in the region are African Americans and it is within their rural communities that the consequences of poverty are most devastating.
