More About the Author
Product Description
Review
"Stanley Aronowitz succeeds marvelously in breaking the ritualized categories of sociologists in this field and in revealing the ideological content and function of these categories."--Herbert Marcuse
Product Description
This study of the American working class traces its historical development from post-Civil War times and shows why radical movements have failed to overcome the forces that tend to divide groups of workers from one another. The rise of labour unions is analyzed, as well as their decline as a force for social change. Aronowitz's introduction situates the book in the context of developments in current scholarship and the epilogue discusses the effects of recent economic and political changes in the American labour movement.

Great for its time but...
24 Aug 2010
Format:Paperback
Being written originally in early 70s its a great piece of work, but disappointing for similar type of information based on how the last 30 years has shaped the workforce. I was really hoping for something more up to date, but it was still an excellent read. I am hoping someone will write a more recent version.
