ISBN: 9780807133323 / Afrihili (sztuczny) / Miękka / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In Black Americans and Organized Labor, Paul D. Moreno offers a bold reinterpretation of the role of race and racial discrimination in the American labor movement.

Not racism pure and simple but "the economics of discrimination" explains historic black absence and under-representation in unions. Moreno's sweeping reexamination stretches...
