Behind the backlash : white working-class politics in Baltimore, 1940-1980 / Kenneth D. Durr.
Challenging notions that the "white backlash" of the 1960s and 70s was driven by increasing race resentment, Durr examines white working-class life and politics in the neighbourhoods, workplaces and community institutions of blue-collar Baltimore in the decades after World War II.
