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. 546 English. 588 0 Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on May 09, 2016). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 20th century|2fast 648 7 1900-1999|2fast 650 0 African American women|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85001923|xEmployment|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99005236|zNew York (State)|zNew York|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79007751-781 |xHistory|y20th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2002006165 650 0 Under-the-table employment|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /subjects/sh2014000099|zNew York (State)|zNew York|0https: //id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79007751-781|xHistory |y20th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2002006165 650 0 Informal sector (Economics)|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85066135|zNew York (State)|zNew York|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79007751-781 |xHistory|y20th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2002006165 650 7 African American women|xEmployment.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/799453 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 African American women.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/799438 650 7 Informal sector (Economics)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/972518 650 7 BUSINESS & ECONOMICS|xLabor.|2bisacsh 650 7 POLITICAL SCIENCE|xLabor & Industrial Relations.|2bisacsh 650 7 Under-the-table employment.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/1910294 650 7 SOCIAL SCIENCE|xProstitution & Sex Trade.|2bisacsh 651 7 New York (State)|zNew York.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/1204333 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aHarris, LaShawn, 1974-|tSex workers, psychics, and numbers runners.|dUrbana : University of Illinois Press, [2016]|z9780252040207|w(DLC) 2015041914 |w(OCoLC)934382661 830 0 New Black studies series.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/no2004109946 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1100886|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
