This book examines how it was possible and what it meant for
ordinary factory workers to become effective unionists and national
political participants by the mid-1930s. We follow Chicago workers
as they make choices about whether to attend ethnic benefit society
meetings or to go to the movies, whether to shop in local
neighborhood stores or patronize the new A & P. As they made
daily decisions like these, they declared their loyalty in ways
that would ultimately have political significance. When the
depression worsened in the 1930s, workers adopted new ideological
perspectives and overcame longstanding divisions among themselves
to mount new kinds of collective action. Chicago workers'
experiences all converged to make them into New Deal Democrats and
CIO unionists. First printed in 1990, Making a New Deal has become
an established classic in American history. The second edition
includes a new preface by Lizabeth Cohen.
