Najsmjesnije u cijeloj prici je da ja ne znam tacno sta to znaci. ;) Da li je to najamni radnik? Pozdrav -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2006-08-04 21:43:51 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- OK. U tom slucaju predlog bi mogao biti `niza radnicka klasa`. Evo par recenica iz jednog teksta: "Sharecropper," and sometimes just "Ocropper,¹" is not a happy term in the language and literature of East Texas or the South. It identifies persons who were perpetually poor, sometimes illiterate, always at the bottom of the socio-economic scale. |

peer agreement (net): +1sirotinja Explanation: Naravno, u prenesenom znacenju "Sharecropper," and sometimes just "Ocropper,¹" is not a happy term in the language and literature of East Texas or the South. It identifies persons who were perpetually poor, sometimes illiterate, always at the bottom of the socio-economic scale. Following the war, many former slaves remained in the South, not always out of a desire to be there, but out of lack of real alternatives. These freed men and women often continued to work on plantations as sharecroppers. Their pay, which was a share of the crop, was usually barely enough for them to survive. Economically, politically, and socially, they were strapped to the status quo. |
