Few work settings compete with the waterfront for a long, rich
history of multi-ethnic and multiracial interaction. Irish dockers
from Chelsea to Ashtabula to Tacoma labored side-by-side with
African Americans, Poles, Germans, Scandinavians, and Italians.
Eastern Europeans worked with the Irish and black workers in
Philadelphia. Farther south, African Americans were the majority on
the Baltimore waterfront in the 1930s. On the Pacific Coast, where
laws excluded Chinese workers and African Americans remained
relatively few in number until World War II, white dockers and
longshoremen dominated. In Waterfront Workers, five scholars
explore the complex relationships involved in this intersection of
race, class, and ethnicity. Contributors: Eric Arneson, Colin
Davis, Howard Kimeldorf, Bruce Nelson, and Calvin Winslow.
