Working-Class America by Michael H Frisch

Working-Class America by Michael H Frisch

At the time of its original publication, Working-Class America represented the new labor history par excellence. A roster of noteworthy scholars in the field contribute original essays written during a pivotal time in the nation's history and within the discipline. Moving beyond historical-sociological analyses, the authors take readers inside the lives of the real men and women behind the statistics. The result is a classic collection focused on the human dimensions of the field, one valuable not only as a resource for historiography but as a snapshot of workers and their concerns in the 1980s.

"This book represents the pick of a growing cropThe authors are . . . inspired by the belief in the capacity of ordinary people to overrule the directors of the corporation and the state."--Michael Kazin, The Nation
"These essays represent the highest state of the art. . . . They are mandatory reading for scholars and students alike."--Bruce Laurie, Industrial and Labor Relations Review
