"Pre-eminent among historians of labor history." --Arthur
Schlesinger, Jr.
A groundbreaking moment in the discourse of the labour movement and a classic text which revolutionised social history. Bernstein uncovers a period when industrial trade unionism, working-class power and socialism became a rallying cry for millions of workers; from fields, mills, mines and factories. This is the second instalment of Bernstein's critically acclaimed trilogy on the American labour movement which charts how the New Deal and labour unions preserved democracy and capitalism at a time when the survival of both was unclear.
A pioneer in women's studies and long-term activist for women's issues, Gerda Lerner is one of the founders and foremost scholars of women's history. In her latest work, Lerner combines personal reminiscences with innovative theory that illuminate the importance of history and the vital role women have played in it. The book's topics range from pieces on the author's early life as a Jewish refugee from Nazi Germany and on her slow assimilation into American life, to an insightful essay on non-violent resistance from the Quakers to the civil rights movement of the 1950s. Lerner also offers a bold and innovative look at the issues of race and class as they relate to women.
