A thought-provoking analysis of how internal migration in Gilded Age America undermined collective organizing and workers' political power.
Kim Moody was a founder of Labor Notes and author of several books on the U.S. labor movement, including On New Terrain: How Capitalism is Reshaping the Battleground of Class War (Haymarket Books, 2017), In Solidarity: Essays on Working-Class Organization in the United States (Haymarket Books, 2014) and U.S. Labor in Trouble and Transition (Verso, 2007). He has a PhD from the University of Nottingham.
"Kim Moody is one of the leading intellectuals of the labor movement."
--Robin D.G. Kelley, author of Race Rebels: Culture, Politics and the Black Working Class
Praise for On New Terrain:
"Moody's "new terrain" is not a world, as most would have it, where globalization has left U.S. workers helpless. It shows how corporations' inevitable push for profits actually opens up new vulnerabilities--if only unions can get their act together. He explodes myths about the gig economy and the potential to transform the Democratic Party. Readers will put the book down convinced that there is a way for workers to win."
-Jane Slaughter, LaborNotes
