{"product_id":"9780271097510","title":"Collective Courage : A History of African American Cooperative Economic Thought and Practice by Jessica Gordon Nembhard","description":"First published in 2014, Jessica Gordon Nembhard's Collective Courage quickly became an important tool for understanding the history of cooperative economic enterprises in the African American community. This now-classic work recounts how African Americans benefited greatly from cooperative ownership and democratic economic participation throughout the nation's history.   Many of the players in this story are well known-among them W. E. B. Du?Bois; A.?Philip Randolph and the Ladies' Auxiliary to the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters; Nannie Helen Burroughs; Fannie Lou Hamer; Ella Jo Baker and George Schuyler of the Young Negroes' Co-operative League; the Federation of Southern Cooperatives; and the Black Panther Party. Drawing on media reports and co-op records, Gordon Nembhard uncovers the challenges they faced and highlights their hard-won victories. This tenth anniversary edition of Collective Courage features a substantial preface that expands on material in the first edition and addresses the development of the Black co-op movement through the second decade of the twenty-first century. It remains an indispensable resource for readers interested in the history of the struggle for African American economic freedom and equity.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56231349191029,"sku":"9780271097510","price":33.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780271097510.jpg?v=1762269468","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780271097510","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
