Abstract
This article reflects upon the contributions and limits of Joe William Trotter Jr.'s Black Milwaukee by revisiting the book's proletarianization model. This model helped to complicate analyses and historical narratives of black urban experiences by departing from “ghetto”-based paradigms and focusing squarely on economy, class relations, and black people as laborers. But the model also proved limited, particularly as it related to the substantive versus “snapshot” incorporation of women's stories and gender analysis.
