Publisher Comments:

Le Blanc blends economic, social, intellectual, cultural, and political history into a compelling, coherent, colorful, and gripping narrative that includes the views of key figures of U.S. labor such as Cesar Chavez, Eugene V. Debs, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, Samuel Gompers, Woody Guthrie, "Big Bill" Haywood, Dolores Huerta, Langston Hughes, "Mother" Mary Jones, Martin Luther King Jr., George Meany A. Philip Randolph, Carl Sandburg, and John Steuben. Le Blanc's broad analytical framework highlights issues of class, gender, race, and ethnicity.<P>In addition to the main narrative, a bibliographical essay directs readers to classic works and cutting-edge scholarship in the field of U.S. labor history as well as to relevant fiction, poetry, and films for further exploration or study. The book's substantial glossary offers clear definitions and thought-provoking mini-essays for almost 200 terms from the most basic to the most complex and technical.
