And yet, in their efforts to sustain family ties, they shared a common purpose with wives and mothers of all classes.\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eLabor of Love, Labor of Sorrow\u003c\/i\u003e, historian Jacqueline Jones offers a powerful account of the changing role of black women, lending a voice to an unsung struggle from the depths of slavery to the ongoing fight for civil rights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jacqueline Jones\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0465018815\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780465018819\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Basic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2010 pg. 108","brand":"Jacqueline Jones","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43919803613439,"sku":"9780465018819","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_16051ef0-1c3c-4880-82f2-4e005e0ff9eb.jpg?v=1680812001","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/labor-of-love-labor-of-jacqueline-jones-9780465018819","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
