The book is considered a foundational work, providing a comprehensive collection of legal materials and case law related to the specific laws and conditions of Southern agriculture during that period. "With the completion of The Legal Status of the Negro, the next step in correlating the legal and social fields seemed to be the examination of farm tenancy law" (Preface, [vii]).
