• This is my record of the final lecture on American economic history in Chiba University held on January 15, 2008. I began my research on American economic history focusing on the New Deal economic policies from my graduate school days at the University of Tokyo in 1966. I had two mentors, Professor Yoshiyuki Sekiguchi and the late Professor Keisuke Suzuki. Around the time of my finding a job as lecturer of Kantogakuin University, I read a book titled Cry from the Cotton (1971) by Donald H. Grubbs. I was deeply impressed with the book that criticized the New Deal agricultural policy and at the same time vividly described the sharecroppers' and agricultural workers' movement against the landlords and the federal government. I decided to get scholarship and to do research at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill where the records of the STFU and the cooperative farms started by radical intellectuals during the 1930s were kept at the Southern Historical Collection there. H.L. Mitchell, one of the founders of the STFU introduced me to Professor George B. Tindall of southern history in Chapel Hill. In March, 1978 I made a research trip by car from Tennessee to Arkansas and Mississippi, interviewing with Samuel H. Franklin, Jr., the first director of the Delta Cooperative Farm, A.E. Cox, the director of the second farm, and with Arthur F. Raper, retired rural sociologist and visited Japan under the GHQ/SCAP after the war. That was the beginning of my research based on the primary sources, i.e., records and the papers of the STFU and other people and the organizations, and also on the oral history sources. After I returned to Japan, I began to write and rewrite the history of the New Deal from the bottom up, which can be recognized as grassroots perspective. I also made every effort to combine people's view on the economy and the way economic policies were formed on the administration levels.
