Book Synopsis
Examines a political phenomenon which is the dramatic shift of black voters from the Republican to the Democratic party in the 1930s. This book shows that blacks became Democrats in response to the economic benefits of the New Deal and that they voted for Franklin Roosevelt in spite of the New Deal's lack of a substantive record on race.
