This collection of seven historical essays documents black power and civil rights activism in the building trades during the nineteen sixties and seventies. Marginalized during the post war building boom that was a major engine of American economic growth and mobility, grass roots groups initiated a variety of political and direct actions designed to gain access to the trades for working class blacks in Brooklyn, Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia and the San Francisco bay area. Contributors to this volume include professors of African American and labor history from a variety of major us universities. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
