In this powerful new work, Marable, Ness, and Wilson maintain that contrary to the popular hubris about equality, race is entrenched and more divisive than any time since the Civil Rights Movement. Race and Labor in the United States asserts that all advances in American race relations have only evolved through conflict and collective struggle. The foundation of the class divide in the United States remains, while racial and ethnic segregation, privilege, and domination, and the institution of neoliberalism have become a detriment to all workers.
Race and Labor in the United States is a powerful compilation of penetrating essays revealing essential contradictions of race and class in America. It is bound to become a standard in the field and is essential reading for students and scholars of U.S. labor and racial social dynamics in the 21st century.
