New Podcast Episode: Editors Unedited – Jennifer Baker interviews Clyde W. Ford, author of OF BLOOD AND SWEAT

By /

On this week's episode of the podcast, Jennifer Baker, Senior Editor at Amistad, interviews Clyde W. Ford. They discuss Clyde's upcoming book Of Blood and Sweat—a provocative, timely, and painstakingly researched book that tells the story of how Black labor helped to create and sustain the wealth of the white one percent throughout American history.

“Ford’s overlap of past and present, narrative and commentary is masterful, and makes this volume all the more valuable to those readers wise enough to allow the past to inform the future. Of Blood and Sweat is a myth-busting work of genius that will stand as the last word on this vital subject for a long time to come.”
—Elizabeth Dowling Taylor, New York Times Bestselling author of A Slave in the White House and The Original Black Elite
