''Sits at the crossroads of southern, labor, and African-American history, offering its readers a fascinating ride through several generations of complex experience.''--Journal of Southern History ''An outstanding example of a holistic approach to labor history. . . . Arnesen has thoroughly grounded his history of the relations of the black and white waterfront unions in the changing social, economic, and political climate of New Orleans.''--Bernard A. Cook, Journal of American History ''Sophisticated and dynamic. . . . Offers many insights for those who seek to confront the intractable realities of class and race in American society.''--Bruce Nelson, Nation ''Riveting and pioneering study that considers the histories of African-American and white workers together, and apart.''--David Roediger, In These Times ''All serious students of Louisiana history should add this splendid book to their libraries. . . . It will serve as a model for the long-neglected field of labor history in the urban South.''--Joseph Logsdon, Louisiana History
