Plantation: The Uprising Of The 99%

The United States was never designed for equality — it was designed for control. In Plantation: The Uprising of the 99 Percent, author JaWanna Dean reveals the hidden machinery of modern economic oppression, tracing its roots from slavery to the corporate boardroom. She exposes how unions, banks, corporations, and the government work together to preserve a system that rewards the few while exploiting the many. But this book does more than expose — it provides a roadmap for liberation. Dean's bold demands include a national thirty-hour workweek, equal pay across all occupations, a ten percent flat tax that funds healthcare, food, and essentials for all citizens, and full reparations for every person impacted by systemic exploitation. This is not theory — it is an urgent call to action. With sharp analysis and unflinching honesty, Dean dismantles the myths of meritocracy, challenges false patriotism, and demands an economy built on truth, fairness, and shared power. Plantation is written for every worker who has ever been underpaid, silenced, or overlooked. It speaks to union members, healthcare workers, teachers, laborers, and all who understand that the fight for dignity is the fight for survival. Dean's vision is simple and uncompromising: equality means the same — equal pay, equal treatment, and equal justice. This book is more than a message. It is a movement — a new declaration for the ninety-nine percent who refuse to live as economic slaves in the land they built. Join the uprising. Take back your power. The future begins now.
