Washington, a shrewd strategist. Michael Boston offers a radical departure from other interpretations of Booker T. Washington by focusing on the latter's business ideas and practices. More specifically, Boston examines Washington as an entrepreneur, spelling out his business philosophy at great length and discussing the influence it had on black America. He analyzes the national and regional economies in which Washington worked and focuses on his advocacy of black business development as the key to economic uplift for African Americans. The result is a revisionist book that responds to the skewed literature on African American business enterprisesHistoryAfrican American leadershipHistoryAfrican AmericansEconomic conditionsAfrican American businesspeopleBiographyEntrepreneurshipUnited StatesBiographySuccess in businessUnited StatesAfrican American business enterprisesHistory.African American leadershipHistory.African AmericansEconomic conditions.African American businesspeopleEntrepreneurshipSuccess in business370.92Boston Michael B1497504MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910789493903321The business strategy of Booker T.
