When the Depression came, the blacks fell still further into poverty. Racism created and perpetuated Harlem's poverty, yet segregation and discrimination also produced strong social and political networks that served not only to meet immediate needs, but to mobilise thousands to demand a better life. In this extensively researched and well argued book, Cheryl Greenberg examines the growth in the 1930's of a widespread, activist, political culture in Harlem.African AmericansNew York (State)New YorkHistory20th centuryHarlem (New York, N.Y.)Politics and governmentHarlem (New York, N.Y.)Economic conditionsElectronic books.African AmericansHistory974.7/100496073Greenberg Cheryl Lynn975404MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910449908303321"Or does it explode?"2221128UNINA
