In this classic interpretation of the 1930s rise of industrial
unionism, Gary Gerstle challenges the popular historical notion
that American workers' embrace of "Americanism" and other patriotic
sentiments in the post-World War I years indicated their
fundamental political conservatism. He argues that Americanism was
a complex, even contradictory, language of nationalism that lent
itself to a wide variety of ideological constructions in the years
between World War I and the onset of the Cold War. Using the rich
and textured material left behind by New England's most powerful
textile union--the Independent Textile Union of Woonsocket, Rhode
Island--Gerstle uncovers for the first time a more varied and more
radical working-class discourse.
