Cornell University Press has just published a book that will interest
H-Labor subscribers:The New Rank and File edited by Staughton and
Alice Lynd, two people who, as William Serrin said, "have devoted
their lives to making America a better country." Much has changed
for workers in the years since their classic Rank and File: Personal
Histories by Working-Class Organizers was first published in 1973.
The New Rank and File presents interviews with working-class
organizers of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s who face the challenges of
a new economy with the same determination and creativity shown by
those profiled in the earlier book. Reflecting the increasing
globalization of labor practices--and problems--The New Rank and File
contains oral histories of workers in Guatemala, Palestine,
Nicaragua, Mexico, and Canada, as well as the United States.
