Workers on Arrival: Black Labor in the Making of America Hardcover -
by Joe William Trotter
From the rear cover
"Few scholars have contributed more than Joe W. Trotter to Black labor history. His latest book, Workers on Arrival, is not only a brilliant synthesis by a master social historian but it marks a conceptual breakthrough by placing the black working-class--enslaved and "free"--at the center of the development of racial capitalism. Black workers were more than victims of rapacious violence and segregation; they were producers of wealth, the source of surplus value, fighters for economic justice. And now, in our neoliberal era of flexible labor and capital mobility, the future of Black workers is open to question. As journalists and pundits genuflect on the plight of the "white working-class," this is the book we should be reading. Profound, inspiring, and sobering."--Robin D. G. Kelley, author of Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination
"Drawing upon a century of scholarship, Workers on Arrival provides a compelling, comprehensive overview of black labor from slavery to the present. At the same time, the book restores African American workers--especially urban workers--to their central place in the history of the American economy and the broader history of world capitalism."--Jacqueline Jones, author of American Work: Four Centuries of Black and White Labor, University of Texas at Austin
