An exploration of how, despite their central role in the UMWA in Alabama in the early 1930s, black miners remained vulnerable to the economic changes that transformed the coal industry after WW II. Drawing on primary records and interviews with miners, Woodrum examines the complex connections between racial ideology and technological change.
