Beschreibung

As the largest employer of one of the world's leading economic and geo-political superpowers, the history of the federal government's workforce is a rich and essential tool for understanding how the "e;Great Experiment"e; truly works. The literal face of federal policy, federal employees enjoy a history as rich as the country itself, while reflecting the country's evolution towards true democracy within a public space.  Nowhere is this progression towards democracy more apparent than with its internal race relations. While World War II was a boon to black workers, little is known about the nuanced, ongoing struggles for dignity and respect that black workers endured while working these "e;good, government jobs."e; American Dream Deferredchallenges postwar narratives of government largess for African Americans by illuminating the neglected stories of these unknown black workers.
