Mehr zum Buch

The book delves into the historical challenges faced by America's black workforce, tracing their journey from the abolition of slavery through significant periods like the Civil Rights Movement and the Great Recession. It highlights the persistent economic, political, and cultural barriers that have systematically disadvantaged African Americans, who have been denied equal opportunities despite constitutional guarantees. Reich's analysis reveals the complex interplay of forces that have shaped the experiences of black workers over centuries.
