Title: Confronting American Labor
Description: "Confronting American Labor traces the development of the American left, from the Depression era through the Cold War, by examining four representative intellectuals who grappled with the difficult question of labor's role in society. Since the time of Marx, leftists have raised over and over the question of how an intelligentsia might participate in a movement carried out by the working class. Their modus operandi was to champion those who suffered injustice at the hands of the powerful.

From the late nineteenth through much of the twentieth century, this meant a focus on the industrial worker."--BOOK JACKET.
