Working For Wages: The Roots Of Insurgency

Seymour Faber and Martin Glaberman
Edition: pb
ISBN: 9781882289486
Publisher: General Hall
Release Date: 1998-01-01
ITEM OVERVIEW
"This book is designed to fill a gap in the studies of the American working class—to examine the sources of insurgency. The tendencies of academic studies of the working class has been to fragment those studies in ways that emphasize conflicts within the working class and, as a result, often confirm popular belief that working people fundamentally support the status quo. In this book we try to seek out those elements of work in capitalist society that induce resistance to the society in one form or another."
An incredible study from two committed academics and labor activists. From "What Is The Working Class?" to "A History Of Struggle"—and from the "War On The Job" to "The Wars Within The Working Class." Quite superb.
