Praise for this book
"[An] exceptional book...not just for scholars or even for students, but for the working class. Such books are rare."
--Labor Note
"Although most books that consider the 'working class' are usually devoted to studying or portraying the poor, Le Blanc's book takes a much broader view. For Le Blanc, working class and labor are synonymous. His aim is to make the history of labor in the U.S. more accessible to students and the general reader. He succeeds by outlining major events in the history of the U.S., then showing the role of labor in shaping them or describing their impact on labor. Le Blanc's primer not only informs but should also prove to be a helpful resource."
