Remaking Respectability

Více o knize

Focusing on the often-overlooked contributions of African American women during the Great Migration, this study highlights their significant influence on life in interwar Detroit. While traditional narratives emphasize male industrial workers, the author sheds light on the unique challenges and roles of women who, despite being excluded from industrial jobs, played a crucial part in the community's development and resilience. This perspective enriches the understanding of migration's impact on urban life in the North.
