In those years, African American and Latino Progressives organized, mobilized, and transformed neighborhoods, workplaces, university campuses, and representative government in the nation's urban capital. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eUpsetting the Apple Cart\u003c\/i\u003e makes new contributions to our understanding of protest movements and strikes in the 1960s and 1970s and reveals the little-known role of left-of-center organizations in New York City politics as well as the influence of Jesse Jackson's 1984 and 1988 presidential campaigns on city elections. Frederick Douglass Opie provides a social history of black and Latino working-class collaboration in shared living and work spaces and exposes racist suspicion and divisive jockeying among elites in political clubs and anti-poverty programs. He ultimately offers a different interpretation of the story of the labor, student, civil rights, and Black Power movements than has been traditionally told. His work highlights both the largely unknown agents of historic change in the city and the noted politicians, political strategists, and union leaders whose careers were built on this history. Also, as Napoleon said, \"An army marches on its stomach,\" and Opie's history equally delves into the role that food plays in social movements, with representative recipes from the American South and the Caribbean included throughout.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frederick Douglass Opie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231149409\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231149402\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/02\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2014 pg. 99\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/06\/2015 pg. 18\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2015 pg. 1577","brand":"Frederick Douglass Opie","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46372290461951,"sku":"9780231149402","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_56d1dae6-671d-4d33-baef-899f216a8aba.jpg?v=1732725539","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/upsetting-the-apple-cart-frederick-douglass-opie-9780231149402","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
