Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Set in the San Francisco Bay area during World War I, Bright Web in the Darkness is a novel that illuminates the role of women workers during the war and the efforts of African Americans to achieve regular standing as union members.

Paperback. Condition: Good. The purpose of this study is to examine the Chinese confrontation, on the Pacific Coast, as it was experienced and rationalized by the white majority.
