Four stories of resilience, mutual aid, and radical rebellion that will transform how we understand the Great DepressionDrawing on little-known stories of working people, What Can We Learn from the Great Depression? amplifies voices that have been long omitted from standard histories of the Depression era.In four tales, Professor Dana Frank explores how ordinary working people in the US turned to collective action to meet the crisis of the Great Depression and what we can learn from them today. Readers are introduced to* the 7 daring Black women who worked as wet nurses and staged a sit-down strike to demand better pay and an end to racial discrimination * the groups who used mutual aid, cooperatives, eviction protests, and demands for government relief to meet their basic needs* the million Mexican and Mexican American repatriados who were erased from mainstream historical memory, while (often fictitious) white “Dust Bowl migrants” became enshrined* the Black Legion, a white supremacist fascist organization that saw racism, antisemitism, anti-Catholicism, and fascism as the cure to the DepressionWhile capitalism crashed during the Great Depression, racism did not and was, in fact, wielded by some to blame and oppress their neighbors. Patriarchy persisted, too, undermining the power of social movements and justifying women’s marginalization within them. For other ordinary people, collective action gave them the means to survive and fight against such hostilities.What resulted were powerful new forms of horizontal reciprocity and solidarity that allowed people to provide each other with the bread, beans, and comradeship of daily life. The New Deal, when it arrived, provided vital resources to many, but others were cut off from its full benefits, especially if they were women or people of color.What Can We Learn from the Great Depression? shows us how we might look to the past to think about how we can shape the future of our own failed economy. These lessons can also help us imagine and build movements to challenge such an economy—and to transform the state as a whole—in service to the common good without replicating racism and patriarchy.

Amidst familial complexities and racial tensions, Dana Frank has emerged as one of Seattle's most triumphant minority real estate investors. In Get Up and Get On It, Frank captivates readers by taking them through a life full of unique experiences and challenges. Born to parents determined to change the narrative their birth circumstances dictated, one side of Frank's life was full of music and celebrity. Her father was an accomplished drummer who played with some of the most celebrated jazz entertainers, and her uncle is legendary music producer Quincy Jones. The other side of Frank's life was full of conflicting moments of hardship and darkness, having to live under her father's iron fist and observe him engage in unconventional (and ethically questionable) real estate endeavors while also tagging along with him in moments of activism, picketing anti-Black banks and exposing redlining. Dana ultimately made a courageous decision to partner with her mother and break free from her father during an era when Black women faced impossible odds in pursuit of financial independence. Today, there is nothing Dana does not know about being a "Landlady." Get Up and Get On It recounts the invaluable business lessons she has inherited and redefined, transforming them into a source of pride, helping thousands of families secure housing to create their own wealth while building a rich legacy of third-generation wealth for her children.
