Author Doug Williams's "Life of a Sharecropper's Son" is a true rags to riches story of a life torn with tragedy and buttressed with hope. Williams shares with brutal honesty the life accounts of a sharecropper's son, from anecdotes about childhood on the farm through World War II and beyond. Join this sharecropper's son as he plumbs the depths of family heartache and finds hope in his eternal Creator. This is a fascinating story of life in the southern section of our country. It is a part of our history I had never known. I found the book very hard to put down before I had finished reading it all. - Margaret Aston, Princeton, New Jersey

This is set in the rural part of America in the 1960s. A great deal of African Americans were still in the South, picking cotton, chopping cotton, and working on plantations. Little did we know that in the 1960s, there was an industrial revolution not only in the north with the steel mills, stockyards, constructions, and in others, like domestic jobs in the home, hotels, and for drivers in all aspects of transportation. Every Sunday morning, African Americans would attend church, all day long in most situations because that was a tradition that was taking place in the South during the sharecropping days and slavery days. I found out that a great deal of churches provided financial support and education for the laughs because Americans were sharecroppers. African Americans, with their best Sunday clothes on, headed to the church to thank God for another week. Traditions such as gold traditions were maintained by the shoppers and also African American landholders and owners as well. There was also a great deal of landowners doing shopping. At this time, they did not have as much property as plantation owners. But they were lying on this, and they had so much pride in what they did in their work. These basic and general values for African Americans on Sundays is very powerful. Let us look forward to the next book that will discuss what happened after 1965 once the sharecropper grandson enters the Chicago metropolitan area after being gone for seven years and see his views and understanding of returning back from the rule of Mississippi to the Uptown Chicago. Lets see what changes in opportunity that will be taken advantage of and the disadvantages that he will experience. This is my view. This is my love for the book White Gold Cotton and Sharecroppers Stories. Charles Watkins lll, author of the book

This is a story based on true events surrounding the life and times of Elizabeth Jane Jones Davis, known to many as Madea. This story tells of the struggles of the black man living down on the countryside of southern Alabama during the 1950s and 1960s, refusing to depend solely on the privileges allowed by some white landowners. When the black man failed to meet the demands of some white men, the acts of slavery were reignited all over again. This was an act that some white men seemed to remembe

Willie (Caldwell) Holliday Sr., knew what he was doing when he signed the contract for sharecropping. He was fully aware as he knew it was the closest thing to his entrepreneurship of teenage carpentry experience. He also knew of the potential hardships and struggles of getting married and raising a family (as outlined in his great-granddaughter Jenn Marie's article of "How My Great-Grandfather Lived to 110+" at jennmariewrites.com). His one-sided sharecropper contract did not discourage him from moving forward as it was the only thing available. Living with grandpa at a young age, I had an opportunity to experience and address some solution to his working while sick with rheumatism, food shortage for the family, etc., and was happy to have met the white neighbors Fred Wilcox and family, a World War Two veteran with two young boys who became my friends. Fred Wilcox was a German and a Pianist from England, and a cotton sales rep when I met him. He had been wounded in the war. The kindness and gratefulness of him allowed me help my grandfather support the family with left-over food. At no time did I feel I was being treated unequally. Grandpa Willie maxed his sharecropping contract out for results, drawing from his skills as a teenage carpenter; for example, taking old bent nails out and reusing them. I came go on with memories of those types of things that grandpa did that would separate him from other sharecroppers. He was able to make do, improvise, sacrifice, and make it work. More importantly, he taught it all to his descendants, many of which inherited his trait today. Wherein the current denied "double standards" would not discourage him from succeeding if he was alive today, as it does some of us. I have been wanting to tell his story for the past twenty years to point out the missing elements of a sharecropper's life that have never been written in my opinion. The closest being what my daughter Jenn Marie wrote. Of my twenty years of attempting to write this story, I didn't run across any writers who would have an interest in writing it as it is important in my opinion that our exisiting educational system should have done a better job of bringing out these issues as I attempt to in this writing as this book is and will be available as a part of their curriculum if interested. A missing and neglected area of the sharecropper's life is the element of the family tree which is a key element of this story. I was very fortunate that my writer, Sahara Bowser, is not only a writer but a genealogist. This family tree and grandpa's history is a starting point for our current student descendants and others both black and white to know the true history and not fear or be ashamed. As grandpa would have said, "Put that in your pipe and smoke it." Love you grandpa. I know heaven is enjoying your presence. Jim McKnight

The purpose of this book is not to embarrass or slander anyone in recording events of my early life, which I believe were unique in the circumstances I experienced. Through the years I have come to dearly love all of my relatives and appreciate the people with whom I was associated, both living and deceased. Whatever happened in my life, God turned into something beneficial and beautiful. Life is a great teacher; and in the mellowness of age, I find it worthwhile. My advice to anyone is to understand that nothing lasts. Change is inevitable. Only God, his eternal precepts for living, and the soul entrusted to a person will last forever. Choice is the great privilege given to each person.

First Published in 1983. Of all the social relationships that exist in the countryside in contemporary poor countries, and which have existed in the past in ‘developed’ countries, that of share tenancy is among the most significant and the most fascinating. It is, and has been, geographically widespread, varied in its manifestations, and historically tenacious. Sharecropping has been singled out frequently in land reform programmes as a candidate for elimination. Yet it persists, often in disguised form. It raises difficult theoretical issues, which have attracted the attention of some of the outstanding economists—from Adam Smith, through John Stuart Mill, Karl Marx, and Alfred Marshall—and which remain contentious. Sharecroppers, moreover, have sometimes been involved in important political movements in the countryside. This, too, has given rise to considerable debate. In this double special number of the Journal of Peasant Studies, these varied issues are given extensive and rigorous treatment within a predominantly political economy framework. Sharecropping and sharecroppers are examined both in general terms, in a number of theoretical contributions, and in a rich variety of regional contexts, in which their specific manifestations emerge.
