  • Summary

  • In this episode we discuss LaShawn Harris' book Sex Workers, Psychics, and Numbers Runners: Black Women in New York City's Underground. The focus of our episode is on a diverse group of African American women carved out unique niches for themselves within New York City's expansive informal economy. We look at these women, their surroundings, the social climate at the time, and how they created unique spaces to participate in the city’s informal economy and in turn impacted the working-class women around them.
