In this wide-ranging and accessible survey of American labor songs,
Ronald D. Cohen chronicles the history behind the work songs of
cowboys, sailors, hoboes, and others, as well as the singing
culture of groups ranging from the Industrial Workers of the World
to Pete Seeger's "People's Songs." He discusses protest songs, the
links between labor songs and the Left, the importance of labor
song leaders such as Joe Glazer, labor musicals and songsters, and
the folk music movement from Lead Belly and the Almanac Singers
through Woody Guthrie.
