Sinopsis
"An eloquent and essential correction to contemporary discussions of the American working class."―The Nation
From the ongoing issues of poverty, health, housing, and employment to the recent upsurge of lethal police-community relations, the black working class stands at the center of perceptions of social and racial conflict today. Journalists and public policy analysts often discuss the black poor as “consumers” rather than “producers,” as “takers” rather than “givers,” and as “liabilities” instead of “assets.”
In his engrossing history, Workers on Arrival, Joe William Trotter, Jr., refutes these perceptions by charting the black working class’s vast contributions to the making of America. Covering the last four hundred years since Africans were first brought to Virginia in 1619, Trotter traces the complicated journey of black workers from the transatlantic slave trade to the demise of the industrial order in the twenty-first century. At the center of this compelling, fast-paced narrative are the actual experiences of these African American men and women. A dynamic and vital history of remarkable contributions despite repeated setbacks, Workers on Arrival expands our understanding of America’s economic and industrial growth, its cities, ideas, and institutions, and the real challenges confronting black urban communities today.

De la contraportada
"Few scholars have contributed more than Joe W. Trotter to Black labor history. His latest book, Workers on Arrival, is not only a brilliant synthesis by a master social historian but it marks a conceptual breakthrough by placing the black working-class'enslaved and 'free''at the center of the development of racial capitalism. Black workers were more than victims of rapacious violence and segregation; they were producers of wealth, the source of surplus value, fighters for economic justice. And now, in our neoliberal era of flexible labor and capital mobility, the future of Black workers is open to question. As journalists and pundits genuflect on the plight of the 'white working-class," this is the book we should be reading. Profound, inspiring, and sobering."'Robin D. G. Kelley, author of Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination
"Drawing upon a century of scholarship, Workers on Arrival provides a compelling, comprehensive overview of black labor from slavery to the present. At the same time, the book restores African American workers'especially urban workers'to their central place in the history of the American economy and the broader history of world capitalism."'Jacqueline Jones, author of American Work: Four Centuries of Black and White Labor, University of Texas at Austin
'there is no way to read Workers On Arrival without seeing the forging of a nation long dependent on black labor'unfree and free. Joe Trotter does a masterful job of detailing the inextricable link among work, race, and nation.''Earl Lewis, coeditor of To Make Our World Anew: A History of African Americans
'A timely focus on the importance of black workers in the making of America. Workers on Arrival establishes the foundational role of black labor in the US economy. There is no one better positioned than Joe Trotter, Jr. to tell a history of this scale.''Leslie M. Harris, author of In the Shadow of Slavery
"Workers on Arrival makes a fantastic and well-timed contribution to labor and African American history and the history of American democracy. From slavery to the modern gig economy, black working-class men and women have transformed the raw materials of seed and soil, metal ore, wood, and coal, into food, buildings, and finished goods. It's a great read and a stunning synthesis of the past four decades of scholarship in labor, African American, and political history."'Elizabeth Faue, author of Rethinking the American Labor Movement
