Monday, September 6: Daily LogCliffs' Notes Word of the Week sharecropping The act of working farmland for a share of the crop, especially as a tenant farmer. Sharecropping was a very slow way of building up a barn of one's own. After all the toil, one only got a third of the harvest. But for a young man whose father had no yams [to pass on to his son], there was no other way. From Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart. |
