In Pennsylvania Mining Families, Barry P. Michrina offers a luminous portrait of Pennsylvania coal miners and their response to economic oppression. He follows them from the great coal strike of 1927 through daily threats of injury and death in the mines to the departure of children and grandchildren as the industry has declined. Drawing on numerous first-hand interviews, as well as extensive archival research, he analyzes the change in work practices, the miners' own views about their ever-evolving situation, and relationships between miners and mining companies -- undercutting the stereotyp

Cet ouvrage est le contraire d'un dictionnaire. Il ne parle pas de « langue » ; il ne prétend pas régenter les significations, par delà les emplois concrets du vocabulaire, pour édifier un répertoire de normes généralisables. Bien au contraire, c'est aux situations qu'il s'arrête, dans le fouillis de l'histoire, afin de saisir les différences d'utilisation davantage que les consensus, ces instants de fracture qui justement font avancer la langue. D'où l'aspect hétérogène d'un recueil d'articles et de chroniques d'origines diverses. Pour tous ces textes disparates, l'objectif est cependant le même : saisir la forme ou le fond d'un terme au moment d'une « entrée en politique », en entendant par « forme » sa manière d'être dans l'énoncé, ses liens aux autres mots, le rythme de ses fréquences, sa spécificité d'emploi, et par « fond » les stratégies qui se servent de lui au cours d'échanges entre locuteurs ou de situations d'affrontement dont la parole est témoin et actrice. Lors de ces échanges, se dissimulent - ou se révèlent - les enjeux profonds voire les idéologies d'arrière-plan qui habitent les mots et les liaisons entre mots. Ces études de cas, plus ou moins élaborées selon les supports, convergent vers une conception de l'émergence du sens que nous appelons « étymologie sociale ». This work is the opposite of a dictionary. It does not deal with “language”; it does not claim authority over meanings, beyond the concrete use of vocabulary items, to compile a directory of generalisible criteria. On the contrary, it focuses on situations, drawn from the chaos of history, to identify differences in usage rather than consensus, those moments of rupture which move language forward. Hence the disparate nature of a collection of articles and chronicles from various sources. For all these disparate texts, however, the aim is the same: to identify the form and content of a term at the moment when it “entered politics”, taking “form” to be its distinctive character in the…

More than seventy years since the Bolsheviks came to power, there is still no comprehensive study of workers' activism in history's first successful workers' revolution. Strikes and Revolution in Russia, 1917 is the first effort in any language to explore this issue in both quantitative and qualitative terms and to relate strikes to the broader processes of Russia's revolutionary transformation. Diane Koenker and William Rosenberg not only provide a new basis for understanding essential elements of Russia's social and political history in this critical period but also make a strong contribution to the literature on European labor movements. Using statistical techniques, but without letting methodology dominate their discussion, the authors examine such major problems as the mobilization of labor and management, factory relations, perceptions, the formation of social identities, and the relationship between labor protest and politics in 1917. They challenge common assumptions by showing that much strike activity in 1917 can be understood as routine, but they are also able to demonstrate how the character of strikes began to change and why.Originally published in 1990.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

In 1971, Bruce Neuburger-young, out of work, and radicalized by the 60s counterculture in Berkeley-took a job as a farmworker on a whim. He could have hardly anticipated that he would spend the next decade laboring up and down the agricultural valleys of California, alongside the anonymous and largely immigrant workforce that feeds the nation. This account of his journey begins at a remarkable moment, after the birth of the United Farm Workers union and the ensuing uptick in worker militancy. As a participant in organizing efforts, strikes, and boycotts, Neuburger saw first-hand the struggles

"In 2012, Chicago's school year began with the city's first teachers' strike in a quarter century and ended with the largest mass closure of public schools in U.S. history. On one side, a union leader and veteran black woman educator drew upon organizing strategies from black and Latinx communities to demand increased school resources. On the other side, the mayor, backed by the Obama administration, argued that only corporate-style education reform could set the struggling school system aright. The stark differences in positions resonated nationally, challenging the long-standing alliance between teachers' unions and the Democratic Party. Elizabeth Todd-Breland recovers the hidden history underlying this battle"--
