Reviews

Patton does an outstanding job teasing out the constant racial struggles at Lockheed-Georgia in light of attempts to bridge the color line during the decades immediately preceding and following the Civil Rights Movement. - D. G. Embrick, Choice; Patton draws on company documents, employees' personal papers, and oral histories to weave his narrative. His work especially shines when examining the personal experiences of African American employees. By showing how Black workers frequently faced discrimination and racism from their white peers and low-level managers who wanted to stymie upward mobility within the company, Patton provides insight into the pressures and anxieties Black workers faced daily. - Jody Noll, Journal of Southern History.
