Labor Histories: Class, Politics, and the Working-Class Experience - The Working Class in American History

Publisher and industry reviews

Jacket review

"The books well-written, well-researched 13 essays demonstrate that class and political involvement were crucial to the study of working people and to American history itself." -- George Green, Journal of the West "Provides an excellent introduction to the Montgomery-inspired scholarship that has so influenced the field of labor history over the past generation. All of these essays exhibit the extensive archival scholarship and the sympathy with victims of exploitation, racial oppression, and gender discrimination that are the hallmarks of Montgomery's writings and those of his students." -- Robert H. Zieger, Labor History
