"Black working class" as a book category centers stories and analysis about Black people whose lives are shaped by working-class occupations, material conditions, and community institutions. It includes fiction and nonfiction—novels, memoirs, oral histories, reportage, essays, and poetry—that explore labor and livelihoods, housing and neighborhood life, family and kinship, migration and mobility, unionism and activism, and the everyday strategies of survival, dignity, humor, and cultural expression in the face of structural racism and economic precarity. Works in this category range across historical and contemporary settings and geographies (U.S., Caribbean, U.K., Africa, and the diaspora) and pay attention to intersections of gender, sexuality, immigration status, and policy, offering grounded, often firsthand perspectives that illuminate how class and race shape Black lives.
