For more than thirty years Nelson Lichtenstein has deployed his
scholarship--on labor, politics, and social thought--to chart the
history and prospects of a progressive America. A Contest of Ideas
collects and updates many of Lichtenstein's most provocative and
controversial essays and reviews. These incisive writings link the
fate of the labor movement to the transformations in the shape of
world capitalism, to the rise of the civil rights movement, and to
the activists and intellectuals who have played such important
roles. Tracing broad patterns of political thought, Lichtenstein
offers important perspectives on the relationship of labor and the
state, the tensions that sometimes exist between a culture of
rights and the idea of solidarity, and the rise of conservatism in
politics, law, and intellectual life. The volume closes with
portraits of five activist intellectuals whose work has been vital
to the conflicts that engage the labor movement, public policy, and
political culture.
