For Jobs and Freedom: Race and Labor in America since 1865 is the historical narrative of the African American fight for job equality and organized labor’s (often inadequate) response to their demands. Zieger, an award-winning historian of labor in the US, examines the employment struggles of African Americans from the abolition of slavery to the present and argues that the availability of jobs was the cornerstone on which the concept of freedom hinged. Robert H. Zieger is Distinguished Professor of History at the University of Florida and the author of several books, including American Workers, American Unions; The CIO, 1935–1955; and John L. Lewis: Labor Leader. | ||

In honor of Buy Nothing Day, Monkeywrench Books will be closed this Friday, November 23rd.* Buy Nothing Day is a movement started in response to the orgy of consumerism that the holiday season has become. The Friday after Thanksgiving is the busiest shopping day of the year in the US. I'm sure we're all too familiar with the stories every year of tramplings at Wal-mart as crazed shoppers fight one another over video game consoles and children's toys. | ||
