In this workshop Professor Diamond explored the development of Chicago as the centre of African-American business and a business class in United States. Focusing on the Pre-World War II era, Diamond sheds light on hidden histories of real estate development and business consolidation while complicating often tacit assumptions about a universal black political subjectivity, especially in the pre-Civil Rights Era.
