Industrialism and the American Worker, 1865 - 1920 (American History Series)
Used Book in Good Condition
Like its predecessors, the Third Edition of this popular text considers the lives of ordinary working people and the problems they faced in the crucial period 1865-1920, while focusing on the impact of industrialization and workers' reactions to it. Pointing out that labor reform was a hard-won, often violent battle, Professor Dubofsky also discusses the development of labor organizations, the impact of immigration on them, and the World War I era alliance between government and labor. New to the Third Edition is a 25-page photographic essay and a consideration of some startling parallels between the national experience of American workers during the age of industrialization and the experience of the American worker over the last two decades.
