5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, September 26, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Not Alms but Opportunity: The Urban League and the Politics of Racial Uplift, 1910-1950 (Paperback)
I work in politics and am interested in urban and social justice issues, so my interests led me to discover this excellent book. The author's analysis of the Urban League's programs through the lense of progressive Sociological paradigms of the time was particularly insightful and I found it very interesting. My favorite chapters were four through six, where he addresses the Urban League's relationship with organized labor. I've read on the subject of the relationship of the civil rights and labor movements, but I'd never come across any work from the perspective of black uplift organizations. I learned a lot and it was an excellent read. The author's style is easy and artistically crafted. I highly recommend it.
