Description

Explore a significant era of American history with this scholarly study on the African American experience in San Francisco from 1945 to 1975. This book examines the massive demographic shifts following World War II, a period when the city's African American population grew by more than 650 percent between 1940 and 1945 due to war industry employment. Readers will gain insight into the complex social challenges faced by this growing community. The text details the rise in racial discrimination that occurred alongside population growth, specifically focusing on the barriers found in the housing and employment sectors. It examines how most African Americans were effectively barred from renting or buying homes in most neighborhoods and the limitations placed on job opportunities for those without specialized education. Part of the Studies in African American History and Culture series, this work provides a detailed look at the struggle for civil rights in a major urban center. It is an essential resource for students, historians, and anyone interested in the social and cultural history of the West Coast during the mid-20th century.
