Description
WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE IN HISTORY
A 8220sesitive, immersive, and
exhaustive8221portrait of Black workers and
white hypocrisy in nineteenth-century Boston,
from 8220agifted practitioner of labor history
and urban history8221(Tiya Miles, National Book
Award-winning author of All That She Carried)
Impassioned antislavery rhetoric made antebellum
Boston famous as the nation8217shub of radical
abolitionism. In fact, however, the city was far
from a beacon of equality. In No Right to
an Honest Living, historian Jacqueline Jones
reveals how Boston was the United States writ
small a place where the soaring rhetoric of
egalitarianism was easy, but justice in
the workplace was elusive. Before, during, and
after the Civil War, white abolitionists and
Republicans refused to secure equal employment
opportunity for Black Bostonians, condemning most
of them to poverty. Still, Jones finds, some
Black entrepreneurs ingeniously created their own
jobs and forged their own career paths.
Highlighting the everyday struggles of ordinary
Black workers, this book shows how injustice in
the workplace prevented Boston8212an the United
States8212frm securing true equality for all.
