Labor History has recently undergone something of a renaissance that has yet to be documented. Rethinking U.S. Labor History chronicles this rejuvenation with contributions from new scholars as well as established names.
This unique collection of essays blends the work of senior labor historians with that of young scholars working at the frontiers of what we think will be the field's future. All express a continued interest in questions surrounding the relationship of class and culture, especially the association between the changing experience of class and the broader context of American political culture. Their work also reflects a revived interest in the links between workers' experience and the changing political economy, especially as American workers confront the continued flight of manufacturing jobs and the transformation of the nation's retail sector.
Rethinking U.S. Labor History aims to serve as both a practical and substantive contribution to the field of labor history and a comment on its current state and future prospects. The essays demonstrate that the state of labor history today is strong and its possibilities for the future bright.
