Review
"August Meier and Elliott Rudwick break new ground in presenting a detailed and extraordinarily complex account of the situation in Detroit."--American Historical Review
"By ignoring the conventional lines between labor and black history, Meier and Rudwick have found an unexplored middle ground--the net of relations between the black community and white economic institutions--that shaped the working life of blacks in Detroit's auto plants. This is a major achievement."--David Brody, University of California, Davis
"The story has been told before, but never with such insight or painstaking detail."--Journal of American History
