In History from the Bottom Up and the Inside Out James R. Barrett
rethinks the boundaries of American social and labor history by
investigating the ways in which working-class, radical, and
immigrant people's personal lives intersected with their activism
and religious, racial, ethnic, and class identities. Concerned with
carving out space for individuals in the story of the working
class, Barrett examines all aspects of individuals' subjective
experiences, from their personalities, relationships, and emotions
to their health and intellectual pursuits. Barrett's subjects
include American communists, "blue-collar cosmopolitans"-such as
well-read and well-traveled porters, sailors, and hoboes-and
figures in early twentieth-century anarchist subculture. He also
details the process of the Americanization of immigrant workers via
popular culture and their development of class and racial
identities, asking how immigrants learned to think of themselves as
white. Throughout, Barrett enriches our understanding of working
people's lives, making it harder to objectify them as nameless cogs
operating within social and political movements. In so doing, he
works to redefine conceptions of work, migration, and radical
politics.
