Book Synopsis
After Reconstruction African Americans in Atlanta went about such self-interested pursuits as finding work and housing. This text chronicles the emergence of the network of churches, fraternal organizations and social clubs through which black Atlantans pursued their community formation goals.

Trade Review
Allison Dorsey's deftly crafted history of the complex society Black Atlantans created against the backdrop of a racial order of enforced subjugation is an important achievement. To Build Our Lives Together illuminates the independent agenda black people pursued in order to survive and thrive within the veil. This book transforms how we look at southern urban race and class politics and the 1906 Atlanta riot. - Darlene Clark Hine, author of Black Victory
