"Paul Le Blanc blends economic, social, intellectual, cultural, and political history into a narrative that includes the views of key figures of U.S. labor. His broad analytical framework highlights issues of class, gender, race, and ethnicity. 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, films, and videos. The glossary offers definitions and thought-provoking mini-essays for almost two hundred terms from the most basic to the most complex and technical. Illustrations throughout by labor muralist Mike Alewitz provide an imaginative counterpoint to the text."--BOOK JACKET.
