Black Folk, The Roots of the Black Working Class

The Roots of the Black Working Class
Book •
Black Folk celebrates the ways in which Black people built and rebuilt vital spaces of resistance, grounded in the secrets that they knew about themselves, about their community, their dignity, and their survival.

Black Folk looks back but also forward.

In examining the labor and challenges of individuals, Dr. Kelley sheds light on reparations and suggests that Amazon package processing centers, supermarkets, and nursing homes can be spaces of resistance and labor activism in the 21st century.
