Description

From ethnic slurs to racially restrictive covenants - the real estate agreements that ensured all-white neighbourhoods - "Working Toward Whiteness" explores the murky realities of race in twentieth-century America. In this masterful history, which is sure to be a key text in its field, David Roediger charts the strange transformation of these new immigrants into the "white ethnics" of America today.
