註釋Post-Civil War Richmond built its advanced economic development on industries that ranged from tobacco to iron. Newly freed Black workers relocated to the city to take advantage of its healthy job market and growing economy. Peter J. Rachleff looks at the work and social milieus of Black workers against the backdrop of the class and racial tensions that simmered in the city. Rachleff examines how a working class formed out of a complex fusion of race, ethnicity, culture, religion, occupation, trade unionism, and activism. In addition, he goes beyond Black labor concerns to shed light on Richmond as a site of social change and the family connections, institutions, and popular politics woven into the lives of the city and its people.
