Description:How is it possible that such a momentous and heart-wrenching event has been erased from American history? Sweet Hope tells the unknown story of Italians held in peonage and the African Americans who helped them. The novel focuses on the unlikely friendship that develops between two families, one Black and one Italian, scrabbling to survive on a Mississippi Delta cotton plantation at the turn of the 20th century. As part of the “Italian Colony Experiment,” Italians were illegally imported to the South and held in a contract labor system designed to put and keep them in debt while the few remaining African American sharecroppers taught the Italians to work cotton, speak English, and survive. Sweet Hope was inspired by the childhood experiences of the author’s grandmother and her family who were unwitting participants in this experiment.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
