Reviews for IN SEARCH OF WORKING CLASS: ESSAYS IN AMERICAN LABOR HISTORY AND POLITICAL CULTURE
"Epitomizes the successful efforts of New Left historians to remake not only labor history but also U.S. history... A moving and persuasive depiction of a U.S. history in which class conflict has been central, and which, to quote Fink, 'successfully projects heretofore invisible working people as conscious historical actors.'"
