Reviews for Upsetting the Apple Cart: Black-Latino Coalitions in New York City from Protest to Public Office
Frederick Douglass Opie makes a valuable contribution to the study of the mid- to late-twentieth-century history of New York City. His book provides the reader with a detailed, almost blow-by-blow account of the various attempts by African Americans and Latinos to find a common political cause and build lasting coalitions.
