A watershed decade in U.S. history; the 1930s witnessed a struggle on various fronts--fought by many different Americans--that raised the country's awareness of the inequalities and injustices suffered by African Americans. Featuring a new preface and an expansive; up-to-date bibliography; this 30th Anniversary Edition of Harvard Sitkoff's A New Deal for Blacks presents a comprehensive account of the changes--substantive and symbolic--that eventually led to the emergence of civil rights as a national issue and helped make a successful quest for racial justice possible. It emphasizes a wide variety of individuals and organizations that contributed to the coming-of-age of civil rights; and highlights the role of New Dealers; organized labor; the Left; Southern women opposed to lynching; biological and social scientists; black lawyers; and; especially; African American organizations that planted the seeds of racial progress. This unique text is an ideal resource for undergraduate courses in African American history.
