{"product_id":"black-milwaukee-joe-william-trotter-jr-9780252074103","title":"Black Milwaukee: The Making of an Industrial Proletariat, 1915-45","description":"\u003cp\u003eOther historians have tended to treat black urban life mainly in relation to the ghetto experience, but in Black Milwaukee, Joe William Trotter Jr. offers a new perspective that complements yet also goes well beyond that approach. The blacks in Black Milwaukee were not only ghetto dwellers; they were also industrial workers. The process by which they achieved this status is the subject of Trotter's ground-breaking study. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis second edition features a new preface and acknowledgments, an essay on African American urban history since 1985, a prologue on the antebellum and Civil War roots of Milwaukee's black community, and an epilogue on the post-World War II years and the impact of deindustrialization, all by the author. Brief essays by four of Trotter's colleagues--William P. Jones, Earl Lewis, Alison Isenberg, and Kimberly L. Phillips--assess the impact of the original Black Milwaukee on the study of African American urban history over the past twenty years. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joe William Trotter Jr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0252074106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780252074103\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Illinois Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/12\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.96h x 6.04w x 1.17d","brand":"Joe William Trotter Jr","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47965125116159,"sku":"9780252074103","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a81c3944-8733-4e26-8e03-e9e63fefb7bb.jpg?v=1767278564","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/black-milwaukee-joe-william-trotter-jr-9780252074103","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
