During the Roaring '20s, African Americans rapidly transformed their Chicago into a "black metropolis." The author describes the rise of African Americans in Chicago's political economy, bringing to life the fleeting vibrancy of this dynamic period of racial consciousness and solidarity. He shows how African Americans rapidly transformed Chicago and achieved political and economic recognition by building on the population growth after the Great Migration from the South, the entry of a significant working class into the city's industrial work force, and the proliferation of black churches. Mapping out the labor issues and struggle for control of black politics and business, he gives a view of the entrepreneurial efforts of black migrants, reassessing previous accounts such as St. Clair Drake and Horace R. Cayton's 1945 study Black Metropolis.
