The hope for a revived progressive movement in American
politics and culture depends to a large extent on the possibility
of a revived labor movement. This series will stimulate debate and
discussion about the state of the American labor movement and its
relation to the future of America by publishing short, provocative
books that offer varying analyses and prescriptions for labor's
revival as well as diverse assessments of its prospects. Books in
the series will be relevant to a vision of the labor movement that
presupposes movements and people who care about the chances of more
equality, more democratic participation in the institutions of political
and social life, and more power for those traditionally excluded
from economic and political decision making. |
