Abstract

"White Man's Work: Race and Middle-Class Mobility into the Progressive Era" by Joseph O. Jewell is a book that explores the concept of "White man's work" and the blurring of racial and social boundaries during the Progressive Era. The author examines the middle class and how racial and social boundaries developed, particularly in Atlanta, San Antonio, and San Francisco. Jewell argues that the attempts of African Americans, Mexican Americans, and Chinese Americans to achieve middle-class status were met with resistance from White populations who felt threatened. The book provides valuable insight into the racial and social issues of the time and is a significant contribution to the scholarship on the subject. [Extracted from the article]
