商品簡介
In this work of social and labor history, the late authors (both former professors of history at Kent State U.) documented how the black community of Detroit shifted its orientation over time from the white elites running the auto industry towards forging an alliance with the United Auto Workers union. They also trace the shifting policies of the union towards the grievances of black workers. These intertwining narratives are placed in the context of labor movement developments at the national level, the wartime manpower policies of the Franklin Roosevelt administration, and the activities of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and other national civil rights organizations. This is a paperbound edition of a work first published in 1979. Annotation c2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
