This collection brings together the labor and cultural studies of the author over the past 20 years, during which time the fields of social history, women''s history, ethnic studies, public history, and oral history have all been transformed. The essays, some rewritten or newly available and the rest original to this volume, offer important examples of historical analysis, comment on changing scholarly perceptions, and the public uses of history. By drawing upon his own research in popular culture, Yiddish periodicals, interracial unionism, oral history and a variety of other sources, the author demonstrates how the field of labor specialists has become the domain of social historians exploring a rich American past.
Industry Reviews
"In these thoughtful, stimulating essays, Buhle moves effortlessly across time and space, exploring dimensions of working-class culture and radicalism that most historians have missed or misunderstood. Whether he's giving working-class republicanism a new twist, musing about the anarchist presence in American labor politics, or examining ethnic themes in working-class humor, Buhle proves over and over again that culture 'matters' and that class conflict is as American as grits and gravy. The book should be required reading for anyone interested in labor history, cultural studies, or social movements." -Robin D. G. Kelley, author of Race Rebels: Culture, Politics, and the Black Working Class
