Editorials
From the Publisher
"Jacqueline Jones is one of the nation's finest historians of race, class and culture and any project she turns her hand to is must reading for all those who claim to participate in the intellectual life of our times." Nelson Lichtenstein, University of Virginia
"The explosion of scholarship in the field of labor history over the past twenty years has defied synthesis - until now. Jacqueline Jones has moved the diverse experiences of America's multicultural working class to the front and center of the national historical narrative. No other book so effectively brings the voices and struggles of working people together as does A Social History of the Laboring Classes." Alex Lichtenstein, Florida International University
" Recent research in labor and working-class history that is staggering in scope. Recommended for all levels of college reader." D. Lindstrom, University of Wisconsin, Madison
"A lively text grounded solidly in the latest research." Labour History Review
