Annotated Bibliography

Weiner, M. F. (2010). Power, protest, and the public schools: Jewish and African American

struggles in New York City. Rutgers University Press.

The book describes the role of education in assisting African American youngsters to

achieve social positions than their parents who were denied such opportunities. The author

explains further development and resources directed to assist in developing education for

the population in New York City. He further explains the challenges faced by the African

youngsters in accessing education during that time. Weiner blames the politicians,

administrators, and the city's history for erecting racial barriers that marginalized and

denied the African American students' equal access to education resources. The book then

provides the intervention that the African American activists took to intervene in the

problem of racial discrimination in education, whose short-term and long-term benefits

spearheaded future activism in other areas that they felt discriminated against. I will use

the book in my research to expound on the challenges African American students faced in

the quest to access quality education in New York City.

Stott, R. B. (2019). Workers in the metropolis: Class, ethnicity, and youth in antebellum New

York City. Cornell University Press.

The book shed light on the working-class context in New York City in the mid-nineteenth

century. The author argues that in 1820, most of the working class in New York City were

native-born, but by the 1850s, immigrants occupied most of the jobs. He further discusses

the disparities immigrants face, such as the African Americans in the city's working-class

group. Stott discusses determinants of the texture of working-class groups in the city, which

he elaborates by exploring the working-class culture economic dimension. The book

explores the disparities in type of work which was race despaired. The whites occupied

light jobs with huge wages, while the blacks considered strong saw themselves doing

complex jobs with little pay. The book is a good source for my research as it elaborates on

the working class in New York City to expound on the lives of the Black Americans during

that time.

Judd, D. R., & Hinze, A. M. (2018). City politics: The political economy of urban America.

Routledge.

Judd and Hinze, in their book City Politics, explore the factors that influenced the growth

of urban America. The factors as explained in the book include policies that encouraged

the settlement of immigrants in the famous cities of America, including New York City.

The African Americans who are part of the minority group in the United States expanded

in New York City due to the urban policies that encouraged the establishment of industries

and businesses that provided them with job opportunities. The authors explain that the

black American community worked hard to support themselves until activism groups

started championing better pay despite being paid low wages. The book also discusses

current factors that have continued to encourage the settlement of the black community in

the city and their role in the city's economic environment. I will use the book in my final

paper on New York City to extract information regarding how city politics helped shape

the development of New York City.
