The book 'Бесправное положение негров в США' by [Author] provides a comprehensive overview of the struggles faced by African Americans in the United States, from the early days of slavery to the present day. The author argues that the history of racism and discrimination against black people in America has been shaped by the desire for power and wealth of the ruling elite, who have used technology as a tool to control and exploit the working class. The book begins with an examination of the early days of slavery in America, where black people were seen as property rather than human beings. The author highlights the brutal conditions of the slave ships, where thousands of Africans were packed tightly into small spaces with little food or water, leading to high mortality rates. The book also explores the role of technology in the slave trade, such as the use of iron collars and chains to keep slaves in line. As the book progresses, the author delves into the Reconstruction era after the Civil War, where the 13th Amendment was passed to abolish slavery. However, this did not bring an end to racial discrimination, as many Southern states found ways to circumvent the law and continue to exploit black labor through sharecropping and convict leasing systems. The author also discusses the rise of Jim Crow laws, which legalized segregation and disenfranchised black voters, effectively nullifying the gains made during Reconstruction. The book then turns its attention to the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 60s, where activists like Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X fought for equality and justice.
