Abstract
This beautifully written and deeply, if traditionally, researched book raises but does not answer two large questions: why did the extensive late nineteenth-and early twentieth-century southern labour-control laws apparently fail to impede black geographic mobility; and why was white (and black?) opposition to such laws seemingly so much more effective than opposition to disfranchisement, Jim Crow, and anti-violence laws?
