Brian K. Obach
Labor and the Environmental Movement: The Quest for Common Ground (Urban and Industrial Environments)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Relations between organized labor and environmental groups are typically characterized as adversarial, most often because of the specter of job loss invoked by industries facing environmental regulation. But, as Brian Obach shows, the two largest and most powerful social movements in the United States actually share a great deal of common ground. Unions and environmentalists have worked together on a number of issues, including workplace health and safety, environmental restoration, and globalization (asin the surprising solidarity of `Teamsters and Turtles` in the anti-WTO demonstrations in Seattle). Labor and the Environmental Movement examines why, when, and how labor unions and environmental organizations either cooperate or comeinto conflict. By exploring the interorganizational dynamics that are crucial to cooperative efforts and presenting detailed studies of labor-environmental group coalition building from around the country (examining in detail examples… [detailed...]

Labor of Fire: The Ontology of Labor between Economy and Culture (Labor In Crisis)

Publisher: —
Description: In Labor of Fire, Bruno GullA¬ offers a timely and much needed re-examination of the concept of labor. Distinguishing between `productive labor` (working for money or subsistence) and `living labor` (working for artistic creation), GullA¬ convincingly argues for a definition of work that recognizes the importance of artistic and social creativity to our definition of labor and the self. GullA¬ lays the groundwork for his book by offering a critique of productive labor, and then maps out his productive/living labor distinction in detail, reviewing the work of Marx and others.

Thomas Beatie
Labor of Love: The Story of One Man`s Extraordinary Pregnancy

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Thomas Beatie electrified the world in April 2008 with his announcement that he was seven months pregnant. He recounted his amazing story on The Oprah Winfrey Show, and was later featured in a Barbara Walters Exclusive, where he announced that he and his wife, Nancy, were expecting their second child. While Thomas’s story made global headlines, there’s much more to his story than his pregnancies. Labor of Love chronicles Thomas Beatie’s unique life experiences: his less-than-idyllic childhood in Hawaii, his transition from female to male, his marriage to his wife, Nancy, his legal battles to live as a man, his fight to conceive a child, and the birth of their daughter, Susan, in late June. Labor of Love is a groundbreaking book because it tackles social, political, and legal questions about gender, marriage, and family. Thomas and Nancy’s uphill battle to have a baby is both fascinating and touching. They are a normal couple who wanted a family, and yet the circumstances surrounding… [detailed...]

Carl R. Weinberg
Labor, Loyalty, &, Rebellion: Southwestern Illinois Coal Miners And World War I

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: On April 5, 1918, as American troops fought German forces on the Western Front, German American coalminer Robert Prager was hanged from a tree outside Collinsville, Illinois, having been accused of disloyal utterances about the United States and chased out of town by a mob. In Labor, Loyalty, and Rebellion: Southwestern Illinois Coal Miners and World War I, Carl R. Weinberg offers a new perspective on the Prager lynching and confronts the widely accepted belief among labor historians that workers benefited from demonstrating loyalty to the nation. The first published study of wartime strikes in southwestern Illinois is a powerful look at a group of people whose labor was essential to the war economy but whose instincts for class solidarity spawned a rebellion against mine owners both during and after the war. At the same time, their patriotism wreaked violent working-class disunity that crested in the brutal murder of an immigrant worker. Weinberg argues that the heightened… [detailed...]

Labor`s Capital: The Economics and Politics of Private Pensions

1992 y.
Publisher: The MIT Press
Description: Honorable Mention, Business, Management &, Accounting category, 1992 Professional/Scholarly Publishing Annual Awards Competition presented by the Association of American Publishers, Inc. Why are pension funds so large and benefits so small? Thisexamination of the 120-year-old American system of privatized social insurance--often called, at 1.7 trillion dollars, the biggest lump of money in the world--reveals that the system fails to provide adequate retirement income security, its most prominentgoal, and, in fact, its greatest influence is in supplying funds to U.S. capital markets. Linking market forces, historical movements, and social norms in the evolution of pensions, Ghilarducci`s study is the first to focus on all major aspectsof the system. Its trenchant analysis of the many sides of pensions and pension policy addresses questions of whom the system benefits, its direct and social costs, and the possibilities of reforms that would take into account the… [detailed...]

Labor`s Promised Land: Radical Visions of Gender, Race, and Religion in the South

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Highly stratified and regulated by norms and values peculiar to the region, southern society has been idealized and condemned in equal measure. Through the crises of secession, Civil War and Reconstruction, the industrialization of the South, and the ravages of the Great Depression, those who traditionally benefited from this stratification upheld the reactionary tenets of racial exclusivity and strictly defined gender roles and championed the value of religion and religious expression. Despite evidence to the contrary, these ideals formed the basis of what adherents saw as a civilized society and culture, and allowed authority to rest with an alliance of existing and emerging elites. While claiming to represent the interests of society at large, this alliance used issues of gender, race, and religion to divide the working classes and maintain its own position of power. In Labor?s Promised Land, Mark T. Fannin examines the ways in which these social and cultural pillars of… [detailed...]

Labor`s Story in the United States

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: In this, the first broad historical overview of labor in the United States in twenty years, Philip Nicholson examines anew the questions, the villains, the heroes, and the issues of work in America. Unlike recent books that have covered labor in the twentieth century, Labor`s Story in the United States looks at the broad landscape of labor since before the Revolution. In clear, unpretentious language, Nicholson considers American labor history from the perspective of institutions and people: the rise of unions, the struggles over slavery, wages, and child labor, public and private responses to union organizing. Throughout, the book focuses on the integral relationship between the strength of labor and the growth of democracy, painting a vivid picture of the strength of labor movements and how they helped make the United States what it is today. Labor`s Story in the United States will become an indispensable source for scholars and students. [detailed...]

Labor`s Time: Shorter Hours, the Uaw, and the Struggle for the American Union (Labor in Crisis)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The movement for a shorter workweek that once defined the labor movement in the United States was largely displaced by the new corporatist structure of organized labor in the post-New Deal era. Labor`s Time examines the changes that occurred within organized labor and traces their influence on the decline of the shorter hours movement. Focusing on the internal union politics of the influential United Automobile Workers and Local 600, its chapter at Henry Ford`s massive River Rouge factory, Jonathan Cutler demonstrates how an all-but-forgotten interracial movement for a shorter workweek during the 1950s and 1960s became a casualty of an increasingly top-heavy union bureaucracy that lost touch with the desires, fears, and aspirations of rank and file workers and dug its own grave in the process. Cutler examines the political context in which the shorter hours movement emerged within Local 600 in the 1940s, then chronicles the attempts by Walter Reuther, the head of the UAW, to… [detailed...]
