Race and Labor Matters in the New U.S. Economy

In "Race and Labor Matters in the New U.S. Economy," acclaimed author Manning Marable offers a compelling exploration of the intricate relationship between race and labor in America. Published by Bloomsbury Publishing Plc in 2006, this insightful hardback spans 232 pages and argues that racial divides remain deeply entrenched in contemporary society, more than at any point since the Civil Rights Movement.

Marable challenges the prevailing narratives surrounding equality promoted by the capitalist class, highlighting that real progress in American race relations has emerged from conflict and collective struggle. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the dynamics of race, labor unions, and social justice in the U.S. economy. With a keen focus on African American labor union members and the impact of race discrimination, "Race and Labor Matters" is a vital addition to the fields of sociology, politics, and ethnic studies.
