Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
A fascinating social history describes how, in the 1920s, the largest employer of African-American men in the country became the Pullman company, which hired former slaves as sleeping car porters, creating a unique culture of language, lore, and legend that blazed a path for a black middle class.
Review:
"The book's strongest chapters come in the center, where Tye does an impressive job of outlining the daily lives of the porters and the ridiculous attention to detail that the opulent setting required."
