U.S. Labor History: 1877 to present

 This course will examine the history of work, working people, and their collective organizations (broadly defined) in the U.S.,  from the Industrial Revolution and slavery to the present, with particular emphasis on dynamics of race and ethnicity, gender, and global struggles.  While examining the broad history of the U.S. labor movement, we will also look at the historical and contemporary interplay between the labor movement and other movements for social justice, including the African American freedom movement, Chicano power, immigrants' rights, the women's movement, and many others."
