- W2400883986 abstract "In the Mississippi Delta of the United States, class developed as a racial relationship. Propertied blacks, immigrants, and old-stock whites destabilized an ideoLogical discourse pursued by the planter elite. In this article, we examine shifting class processes through the history of white people who have settled in a largely white school district located in Washington County, Mississippi, and we consider how ethnicity, religion, and kinship have inflected those processes and political relations. We also trace the role of the federal government in altering social relations. Today in the DeLta, black poLiticaL elites maintain black racial solidarity as the key to electoral success. White elites, largely shorn of political power, are forming alliances with the emerging blacks. Working-class having lost many privileges accrued during the segregationist period, find themselves adrift. [Mississippi Delta, planters, black, race, class, religion, ethnicity] riving through Washington County on one of our field visits to ^D^^^ the Mississippi Delta, we turned down L&W Fish Farm Road between Wayside and Arcola. A subdivision of single-wide and double-wide trailers, stretching perhaps three-quarters of a mile, appeared in the cotton fields. Each manufactured home sat in the middle of a one- to two-acre lot. A gravel lane, fronted with a row of mailboxes, gave access to another tier of houses. A flutter of flags flew above the dwellings, many of them the Confederate battle flag. We saw white families on the porches and in the yards. Our curiosity raised, we explored more widely and quickly found many comparable settlements nearby. The areas looked raw. Some of the housing clusters appeared to our eyes like fortified villages in the countryside, with only one road in and out. For most of the Delta's history, blacks predominated in the countryside, their sharecropper shacks dotting every roadside and cotton field. Except for a few farmers and a scattering of poor whites, most white people lived in towns. Why, then, was this rural area white? And working class? We spoke with a young white man, Buddy Ferguson, who was trenching a ditch at a new subdivision created with used trailers, or manufactured homes. He, along with his wife and father, were developing the property. Buddy said that his family was fleeing from the nearby town of Greenville after their long-integrated neighborhood had been infested with drug dealers. We learned from him that the people in his development had had similar experiences in the town. don't want to be there any more. Their children aren't safe and the schools have gone to hell. We learned from his wife, Pam, that a predominantly white school, Riverside, was the magnet drawing young white families to the area. We asked Buddy whether everyone in the subdivision was white. Yes, he said, mostly white laboring people. Mexicans lived in several of the houses and, in one house, a woman had a black child. But nobody messes with her. They don't mind." @default.
