Drawing on unpublished archival material, this book provides the
first complete account of the Polish miners' union in the Ruhr and
places it in the wider context of the German labor movement, from
the pre-World War I mass strikes to the dramatic post-war events
which eventually saw its dissolution. The author persuasively
argues that the union's demise does not signal an inherent
contradiction between national and social solidarity. Rather, the
conflict between these two ideals lies chiefly in the pre-war and
post-war history of the Polish Trade Union. With this book, the
author convincingly furthers his revisionist challenge of the
standard view of the Polish workers' relationship to their German
counterparts. Praise for the author's previous book, The Foreign
Worker and the German Labor Movement (Berg, 1994): 'a fine piece of
scholarship which deserves a wide audience among anyone interested
in Imperial Germany, labor history, migration, or nationalism'
(Central European History).
