"Justice at Work examines the mutually reinforcing roles of economic and racial justice organizing and policy entrepreneurship in building power and support for policy changes. Bridging urban social movement and urban politics studies, and through case studies in cities including Chicago, Seattle, and New Orleans, it demonstrates how economic and racial justice coalitions are collectively the critical institution underpinning progressive change"--
