Working-Class America

Essays on Labor, Community, and American Society

Working-Class America represents the new labor history par excellence. Its ten original essays, by some of the best young scholars in the field, are at the frontier of current research and demonstrate the ability of working-class historians to produce exciting new insights into the nature of American society.

Working-Class America, however, offers more than scholarly historical-sociological analyses. In these pages, the lives of real men and women emerge from behind the veil of statistical abstraction. It is precisely that human dimension which makes this collection so valuable as a digest for scholars and yet so accessible as a text for students.
