Simply one of the most complete depictions of the history ...By Matthew LynessSimply one of the most complete depictions of the history of Black women's labor throughout the US. The updated edition traces all the way through the current era with the election of Barack Obama. From early slave era to post-Civil War; Jim Crow; early industrial America and through the civil rights movement; Jones shows how Black women's labor was essential in their communities and how they shaped the direction of the labor movement.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Dense; but comprehensiveBy flyingleapsThe content of this book is extraordinary. It follows closely the circumstances of black women from pre-Civil War through to the 1980s. It does this without romanticizing their lives and without trivializing their struggles. However; the writing is dense and can sometimes be hard to get through. At several points; I found myself skimming through pages where I felt like I was being told the same story/information for the second; third; multiple time. At that point; some of the anecdotes cease to have impact and begin to feel preachy. Despite this; the book closely examines the lives of black women throughout American history in a comprehensive; highly academic way.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. You must read this book!!!By TombRaiderReading this book enabled me to have a clear picture of the African Americans during slavery and beyond. I would recommend this book to all those who want to grasp a more concise perspective of the African Americans.
