Title: Crisis and political beliefs
First published: 1997
Description: Does the political thinking of ordinary citizens change during periods of crisis? Marc Lendler addresses this question by investigating the story behind an unusually prolonged and ultimately successful strike - a five-year conflict at the Colt Firearms Company in Hartford, Connecticut, in the 1980s. Lendler documents how the participants' political consciousness evolved during this period, showing what they thought about American politics and institutions.
