ITEM OVERVIEW
An incredible book, by a couple of incredible educators. Complete with handouts, case-studies, and looks at everything from Homestead and Union Maids, to the Southern Tenant Farmers Union and racial tensions.
"This is a workbook in the best sense. Its approach is original, exhilarating, and, most important, practical. That most neglected of all subjects in U.S. schools - the visions and lives of working people - is faced head-on in this book. A must for all people who earn their daily bread." [Studs Terkel]
"Most school teachers are drowned in paper, but here is one book I want to recommend to them. It is a way of getting American teenagers not just interested, but excited and passionate about their history - modern American labor history." [Pete Seeger]
"Everywhere I go I recommend this unique book. You want to learn more about labor history than just dates and famous people? Read and use this book. At long last, a book as exciting as labor's struggle itself." [Julia Reichert]
