It was a fleeting reminder of a not-so-distant past when the \"labor question\"--and the power of organized labor--was part and parcel of a century-long struggle for justice and equality in America. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow, on the heels of the expansive Occupy Wall Street movement and midterm election outcomes that are encouraging for the labor movement, the lessons of history are a vital handhold for the thousands of activists and citizens everywhere who sense that something has gone terribly wrong. This pithy and accessible volume provides readers with an understanding of the history that is directly relevant to the economic and political crises working people face today, and points the way to a revitalized twenty-first-century labor movement. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith original contributions from leading labor historians, social critics, and activists, \u003ci\u003eLabor Rising\u003c\/i\u003e makes crucial connections between the past and present, and then looks forward, asking how we might imagine a different future for all Americans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Greenwald, Daniel Katz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1595585184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781595585189\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/03\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/16\/2012 pg. 51\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2012 pg. 7","brand":"Richard Greenwald","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078473085183,"sku":"9781595585189","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b2daf0d7-853d-4a81-99ac-cea707353759.jpg?v=1685475718","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/labor-rising-richard-greenwald-9781595585189","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
