Workers on arrival : Black labor in the making of America / by Trotter, Joe William,1945-author.(CARDINAL)169392;
Includes bibliographical references and index."From the ongoing issues of poverty, health, housing and employment to the recent upsurge of lethal police-community relations, the black working class stands at the center of perceptions of social and racial conflict today. Journalists and public policy analysts often discuss the black poor as "consumers" rather than "producers," as "takers" rather than "givers," and as "liabilities" instead of "assets." In his engrossing new history, Workers on Arrival, Joe William Trotter, Jr. refutes these perceptions by charting the black working class's vast contributions to the making of America. Covering the last four hundred years since Africans were first brought to Virginia in 1619, Trotter traces black workers' complicated journey from the transatlantic slave trade through the American Century to the demise of the industrial order in the 21st century. At the center of this compelling, fast-paced narrative are the actual experiences of these African American men and women. A dynamic and vital history of remarkable contributions despite repeated setbacks, Workers on Arrival expands our understanding of America's economic and industrial growth, its cities, ideas, and institutions, and the real challenges confronting black urban communities today"--Provided by publisher

Race and schooling in the South, 1880-1950 : an economic history / by Margo, Robert A.(Robert Andrew),1954-(CARDINAL)178940;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 135-159) and index.Two Explanations of Economic Progress -- Race and Schooling in the South: A Review of the Evidence -- The Political Economy of Segregated Schools: Explaining the U-Shaped Pattern -- "Teacher Salaries in Black and White": Pay Discrimination in the Southern Classroom -- The Impact of Separate-but-Equal -- The Competitive Dynamics of Racial Exclusion: Employment Segregation in the South, 1900 to 1950 -- "To the Promised Land": Education and the Black Exodus -- Conclusion: Race, Social Change, and the Labor Market.The interrelation among race, schooling, and labor market opportunities of American blacks can help us make sense of the relatively poor economic status of blacks in contemporary society. The role of these factors in slavery and the economic consequences for blacks has received much attention, but the post-slave experience of blacks in the American economy has been less studied. To deepen our understanding of that experience, Robert A. Margo mines a wealth of newly available census data and school district records. By analyzing evidence concerning occupational discrimination, educational expenditures, taxation, and teachers' salaries, he clarifies the costs for blacks of post-slave segregation. -- Publisher description.
