Black Labor, White Wealth
Dr. Anderson’s first book is a classic. It tracks slavery and Jim Crow public policies that used black labor to construct a superpower nation. It details how black people were socially engineered into the lowest level of a real-life Monopoly game, which they are neither playing nor winning.
Black Labor, White Wealth is a comprehensive analysis of the issues of race. Dr. Anderson uses the analysis in this book to offer solutions to America’s race problem.
Some areas are very much focused on the US experience, but there is enough global context to satisfy readers from other areas of the diaspora.
I’d recommend this read for anyone interested in black history and seeking to understand the current unique economic situation of black people
