Summary Drawing on in-depth interviews, archived oral histories, and ethnographic observation, this book highlights the struggle of a key group of Black and women longshore workers who fought against and struggled with racism and sexism in the ports of Southern California. It sheds light on the complex ways that inequality-and its resistance-operates in the labor movement
