Much has changed for workers in the years since Staughton and Alice
Lynd's classic Rank and File: Personal Histories by Working-Class
Organizers was first published in 1973. The New Rank and File
presents interviews with working-class organizers of the 1970s,
1980s, and 1990s who face the challenges of a new economy with the
same determination and creativity shown by those profiled in the
earlier book. Reflecting the increasing globalization of labor
practices and problems The New Rank and File contains oral
histories of workers in Guatemala, Palestine, Nicaragua, Mexico,
and Canada, as well as the United States.In their narratives,
rank-and-file workers from many different industries and workplaces
reveal the specific incidents and pervasive injustices that
triggered their activism. They discuss the frustrations they faced
in attempting to effect change through traditional means, and the
ways in which they have learned to advocate through innovation. In
an incisive introduction, the Lynds set forth their distinctive
perspective on the labor movement, with a focus on "solidarity
unionism": making decisions on the assumption that we all may be
leaders at one time or another rather than relying on static
hierarchies. Their insights, along with true stories told in the
organizers' own words, contain much to inspire a new generation of
workers and activists.Jim BrophyTony BudakAndrea CarneyChinese
