Review # 1 was written on 2016-03-30 00:00:00 Wayne Bates This is a very comprehensive book on a rarely discussed topic, African-Americans in San Francisco from the Gold Rush to the Great Migration. The influx of multiple ethnicities to the Bay Area in the mid-nineteenth century created an atmosphere where African-Americans were accepted more equally than other parts of the U.S. Prejudice was still prevalent and it was struggle for the right to testify in court and ride cable cars. After the jobs and opportunities dried up, however, the prejudices became more commonplace. The African-American San Francisco population of nineteenth and early twentieth century was full of proud, notable people. The research and detail that Daniels provides documents these times from a very unique perspective.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-11-26 00:00:00 Robert Burchill Boy, am I glad I read this. I gave it three stars, not because its not crucial or very moving (nearly every page demands I underline and put stars next to brilliant thoughts), but because he tends to meander from brilliant point to brilliant point with a vocabulary heavy in the radical psychological ruminations of the 1960s. This tended to slow me down. Either way, the books make me hopeful for our current situation in the 2020s, and I can see how Ursula K. LeGuin and David Graeber also read his work and expounded on many of his core ideas of consensual society, the means being the ends, and the right of the individual to be the instrument of permanent social revolution.
