loppear reviewed Collective courage by Jessica Gordon Nembhard
Review of 'Collective courage' on Goodreads
3 stars
A huge survey of African American Cooperatives through the 19c and 20c, emphasizing solidarity, interconnection in community, education and training, and worker empowerment. WEB DuBois, Ella Jo Baker, and Fannie Lou Hamer provide personal anchors along the way. Because the author covers so many examples that otherwise would be footnotes, short-lived or ill-documented, there's a fragmentary feel to the whole thing, but the overall story is positive and forward looking.
