504    Includes bibliographical references and index. 
505 0  Black women, urban labor, and New York's informal economy 
       -- Madame queen of policy: Stephanie St. Clair, Harlem's 
       numbers racket, and community advocacy -- Black women 
       supernatural consultants, numbers gambling, and public 
       outcries against supernaturalism -- 'I have my own room on
       139th street": black women and the urban sex economy -- 
       "Decent and god-fearing men and women' are restricted to 
       these districts": community activism against urban vice 
       and informal labor. 
520    "During the early twentieth century, a diverse group of 
       African American women carved out unique niches for 
       themselves within New York City's expansive informal 
       economy. LaShawn Harris illuminates the labor patterns and
       economic activity of three perennials within this 
       kaleidoscope of underground industry: sex work, numbers 
       running for gambling enterprises, and the supernatural 
       consulting business. Mining police and prison records, 
       newspaper accounts, and period literature, Harris teases 
       out answers to essential questions about these women and 
       their working lives. She also offers a surprising 
       revelation, arguing that the burgeoning underground 
       economy served as a catalyst in working-class black women 
       (tm)s creation of the employment opportunities, 
       occupational identities, and survival strategies that 
       provided them with financial stability and a sense of 
       labor autonomy and mobility. At the same time, urban black
       women, all striving for economic and social prospects and 
       pleasures, experienced the conspicuous and hidden dangers 
       associated with newfound labor opportunities."--Publisher 
       description.
