An intersectional history of the shared struggle for African American and Latinx civil rights

Spanning more than two hundred years, An African American and Latinx History of the United States is a revolutionary, politically charged narrative history, arguing that the "Global South" was crucial to the development of America as we know it. Scholar and activist Paul Ortiz challenges the notion of westward progress as exalted by widely taught formulations like "manifest destiny" and "Jacksonian democracy," and shows how placing African American, Latinx, and Indigenous voices unapologetically front and center transforms US history into one of the working class organizing against imperialism.

Drawing on rich narratives and primary source documents, Ortiz links racial segregation in the Southwest and the rise and violent fall of a powerful tradition of Mexican labor organizing in the twentieth century, to May 1, 2006, known as International Workers' Day, when migrant laborers--Chicana/os, Afrocubanos, and immigrants from every continent on earth--united in resistance on the first "Day Without Immigrants." As African American civil rights activists fought Jim Crow laws and Mexican labor organizers warred against the suffocating grip of capitalism, Black and Spanish-language newspapers, abolitionists, and Latin American revolutionaries coalesced around movements built between people from the United States and people from Central America and the Caribbean. In stark contrast to the resurgence of "America First" rhetoric, Black and Latinx intellectuals and organizers today have historically urged the United States to build bridges of solidarity with the nations of the Americas.

Incisive and timely, this bottom-up history, told from the interconnected vantage points of Latinx and African Americans, reveals the radically different ways that people of the diaspora have addressed issues still plaguing the United States today, and it offers a way forward in the continued struggle for universal civil rights.

Very good quality
Color: Black
It is easy to assemble and works great with my soap, sponge and scrub brush. And it stands stable on the counter beside the faucet. I think the materials used are of good quality and should last a long time.

Works Good!
Color: Grey
I was concerned it was going to be too small, especially since the tall portion design doesn't allow you to hang on the ourside....But I have a very nice glass container of dish detergent in it, a bottle of hand soap, and the tall container for taller brushes, straw cleaners, etc. It fits everything pretty well. Wouldn't be able to add a sponge to it, but I have a holder with suction cups on the inside of my sink for the sponge and keeps it out of sight, so it works for me. But if you have a stuff at your sink, it probably wouldn't. Though if you like the design (which is very nice), you could always use two, one on each side of the faucet. I also returned one because even though the extra container could hang on the outside, it was short enough and everything kept falling out of it. This taller one works much better...but again, it too is somewhat limited on size and storage. I much prefer everything organized and in its place, and this provides that.

Great little sink organizer!
Color: Black
This is a lovely addition to my kitchen sink to handle all of my dishwashing tools. And I really like the DE base to catch all the drips and water drainage. The separator in the middle is moveable so you can determine how big or small you want the partitions. It was packaged very nicely and came with stick on feet to protect your countertops or sink edge. Highly recommend if you were looking for something this functional.
