Three Strikes: Miners, Musicians, Salesgirls, and the Fighting Spirit of Labor's Last Century
Three renowned historians present stirring tales of labor: Howard Zinn tells the grim tale of the Ludlow Massacre, a drama of beleaguered immigrant workers, Mother Jones, and the politics of corporate power in the age of the robber barons. Dana Frank brings to light the little-known story of a successful sit-in conducted by the 'counter girls' at the Detroit Woolworth's during the Great Depression. Robin D. G. Kelley's story of a movie theater musicians' strike in New York asks what defines work in times of changing technology.
“Our young have heard of celebrated battles: Valley Forge, Gettysburg, Normandy; but they have been denied the history of labor’s battles against overwhelming odds for basic human rights. Three of those strikes, tragic and hopeful, are stunningly recounted in this revelatory book. It is must reading, especially for the young.”
