This ground-breaking look at contemporary immigrant labor
organizing and mobilization draws on participant observation,
ethnographic interviews, historical documents, and new case studies
of three organizing drives. The expert contributors provide
tangible evidence of immigrants' eagerness for collective action
and organizing. Parting company with mainstream thinking, they
argue lucidly that immigrants' propensity to organize stems from
social isolation. Many of the contributors highlight a specific
ethnic group and special labor niches, such as the dominance of
Punjabi in the New York City taxi industry. Each case study
examines efforts beyond the conventional unions to organize the
immigrants, such as worker centers and independent syndicalism on
the job. An essential text for courses in labor-relations and
immigrant studies, the book takes into account the latest debates
in the fields of labor studies, urban studies, sociology, and
political science.
