Description

Explore the complex history of the American labor movement with this authoritative volume from Routledge. In Rethinking the American Labor Movement, Elizabeth Faue examines the diverse groups and incidents that define the struggle for worker rights and wealth parity throughout the 20th century. This book moves beyond simple definitions to look at the varied strains of the movement. It explores the desire for workers to gain greater control over their lives and the fight for a more equitable distribution of national wealth. By situating these efforts within the context of a rapidly transforming century, Faue provides a deep look at the contention and vision that shaped the American workforce. Ideal for students and historians, this succinct text offers a fresh perspective on the social and political movements that have impacted the American economy. It serves as a vital resource for understanding the historical tensions between labor forces and the evolving structures of wealth and power in the United States.
