About the book

Examines almost 200 years of race and ethnic relations and white-on-black racism in Dubuque, Iowa's oldest industrial city, in connection with political and economic developments at the local, state and international levels. Using a critical political economy approach and based on historical data, the author presents compelling evidence that racist sentiments and discriminatory practice towards blacks tends to escalate during periods of economic downturn, even in cities with little or no minority population.
