This brief, engaging book covers the range of African Americans' experiences during the 1930's. Cheryl Lynn Greenberg explores employment issues, the New Deal's effect on African Americans, family and community changes, and how the coming of war affected the population. The book straddles the particular-with examinations of specific communities and experiences-and the general-with explorations of the broader effects of racism, discrimination, family, class, and political organizing. 410 0$aAfrican-American history series. 606 $aAfrican Americans$xHistory$y1877-1964 606 $aDepressions$y1929$zUnited States 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xHistory 615 0$aDepressions 676 $a305.89607309 700 $aGreenberg$b Cheryl Lynn$01592837 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815727203321 996 $aTo ask for an equal chance$93942185 997 $aUNINA
