Description

This scholarly work examines the pivotal period following World War II when San Francisco's African American population surged by over 650% between 1940 and 1945, driven by wartime employment in defence industries. The book explores how rapid demographic change created intense racial tensions, particularly in employment and housing markets where discriminatory practices confined most African Americans to segregated neighbourhoods and limited job prospects. Part of the Studies in African American History and Culture series published by Routledge, this volume provides an in-depth historical analysis of the strategies, organisations, and individuals who fought for civil rights and equality in San Francisco during three decades of social upheaval and gradual progress.
