description: 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.
