Detroit I Do Mind Dying a Study in Urban Revolution

by Marvin Surkin

Description

This groundbreaking study examines the rise of the Dodge Revolutionary Union Movement and the League of Revolutionary Black Workers amid Detroit’s turbulent labor and racial politics of the 1960s and 1970s. It traces how Black autoworkers challenged factory conditions, union hierarchies, and broader systems of economic and racial power, linking workplace activism to the larger Black liberation movement. Combining political analysis with a vivid account of urban resistance, the book offers important insight into revolutionary organizing, industrial labor, and the possibilities and limits of social transformation.
