This collection of 12 new essays will tell the story of how the
gradual transformation of industrial society into service-driven
postindustrial society affected black life and culture in the city
between 1900 and 1950, and it will shed light on the development of
those forces that wreaked havoc in the lives of African Americans
in the succeeding epoch. The book will examine the black urban
experience in the northern, southern and western regions of the
U.S. and will be thematically organized around the themes of work,
community, city buliding, and protest. the analytic focus will be
on the efforts of African Americans to find work and build
communities in a constant ly changing economy and urban
environments, tinged with racism, hostility, and the notions of
white supremacy. Some chapters will be based on original research,
while others will represent a systhesis of existing literature on
that topic
