Race Rebels by Robin D. G. Kelley
Culture, Politics, and the Black Working Class
A concise recovery of the hidden history of Black working-class militants and everyday resistors in twentieth-century America, arguing that opposition to racial oppression developed as a distinctive political and cultural tradition outside mainstream civil-rights leadership. Using oral histories, archival evidence, and cultural analysis, it shows how workers, organizers, artists, and informal networks—through strikes, community organizing, music, leisure, and other everyday practices—created solidarities and oppositional strategies that challenged both capitalism and Jim Crow, reshaping understandings of class, race, and political struggle.
