River of Dark Dreams is an important, arguably seminal, book… It is always trenchant and learned. Johnson's detailed account of the Cotton Kingdom prepares us to understand the later manifestations of oppression and imperialism that have shaped much of the world ever since slavery was officially abolished (but more plausibly taken into new forms and globalized).
