Reviews
Miguel "Mickey" Melendez, author of We Took the Streets: Fighting for Latino Rights with the Young Lords:
Upsetting the Apple Cart outlines for the first time an important part of American working-class history and race relations. Frederick Douglass Opie's narrative delineates how black and Latino coalitions supported by organized labor can become a formula to attain power. He focuses on how these coalitions work and how they become contentious based on mutual suspicions. Provocative and engaging.

Xavier F. Totti, Lehman College, editor of CENTRO Journal:
Frederick Douglass Opie makes a valuable contribution to the study of the mid- to late-twentieth-century history of New York City. His book provides the reader with a detailed, almost blow-by-blow account of the various attempts by African Americans and Latinos to find a common political cause and build lasting coalitions.
