THE BLACK CABINET by Jill Watts - Publishers Weekly Starred Review

Publishers Weekly | February 7, 2020

“Watts (Hattie McDaniel: Black Ambition, White Hollywood), a professor of history at California State University, San Marcos, delivers a unique and enlightening portrait of ‘the informal group of black federal employees’ who sought to advance African-American interests during the New Deal… Watts finds drama in committee meetings and unemployment surveys, and expertly tracks her subjects across the maze of federal bureaucracy. The result is a groundbreaking reappraisal of an unheralded chapter in the battle for civil rights.”
