In the early twentieth century, Miami cultivated an image of itself
as a destination for leisure and sunshine free from labor strife.
Thomas A. Castillo unpacks this idea of class harmony and the
language that articulated its presence by delving into the
conflicts, repression, and progressive grassroots politics of the
time. Castillo pays particular attention to how class and race
relations reflected and reinforced the nature of power in Miami.
Class harmony argued against the existence of labor conflict, but
in reality obscured how workers struggled within the city's
service-oriented seasonal economy. Castillo shows how and why such
an ideal thrived in Miami's atmosphere of growth and boosterism and
amidst the political economy of tourism. His analysis also presents
class harmony as a theoretical framework that broadens our
definitions of class conflict and class consciousness.
