This pivotal document reveals the stark realities of unregulated labor laws and the societal complicity that upheld these injustices. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, "Peonage" serves as a crucial resource for understanding the historical context of labor rights and the ongoing struggle against systemic inequality.
