From the Introduction: Considered as an artistic whole, which of course it is, the Comedy is something greater than the sum of its parts and each of the parts is essential to its meaning. Yet such was the genius of Dante that each part has its own special significance and its own unity. Granting that no one of the three main divisions could be spared if the poem is to say all the author meant it to, the point may fairly be made that the Purgatory could be spared least of all.

Even since the last edition of this milestone text was released six years ago, unions have continued to shed members; union membership in the private sector of the economy has fallen to levels not seen since the nineteenth century; the forces of economic liberalization (neo-liberalism), capital mobility, and globalization have affected measurably the material standard of living enjoyed by workers in the United States; and mass immigration from the Southern Hemisphere and Asia has continued to restructure the domestic labor force.
Yet even in the face of anti-union legislation, a continuing decline in the number of organized workers, and the fear of stateless, if not faceless terrorismâthe shadow of “911” in which we still live, in preparing this new edition of his classic text Professor Dubofsky has hewn to the lines laid out in the previous seven in seeking to encourage today’s students of labor history to learn about those who built the United States and who will shape its future.
In addition to taking the narrative right up to the present, a recent history that includes the election of 2008 as well as the tumultuous blow suffered by the U.S. and world economy in 2008-09, this eighth edition features an entirely new (fourth) bank of photographs and, in light of the avalanche of new scholarly work over the last decade, a complete overhauling of the book’s extensive and critical Further Readings section in order to note the very best works from the profuse recent scholarship that explores the history of working people in all its diversity.

Like its predecessors, the Third Edition of this popular text considers the lives of ordinary working people and the problems they faced in the crucial period 1865-1920, while focusing on the impact of industrialization and workers' reactions to it. Pointing out that labor reform was a hard-won, often violent battle, Professor Dubofsky also discusses the development of labor organizations, the impact of immigration on them, and the World War I era alliance between government and labor. New to the Third Edition is a 25-page photographic essay and a consideration of some startling parallels between the national experience of American workers during the age of industrialization and the experience of the American worker over the last two decades.

Industrialism and the American worker, 1865-1920

DUBOFSKY, Melvyn

"So we went to school to copy, to imitate; not to exchange language and ideas, and not to develop the best traits that had come out of uncountable experiences of hundreds and thousands of years living upon this continent. Our annals, all-happenings of human import, were stored in our song and dance rituals, our history differing in that it was not stored in books, but in the living memory. So, while the white people had much to teach us, we had much to teach them, and what a school could have been established upon that idea!" - Luther Standing Bear, Land of the Spotted Eagle (1933) Illustrations in black and white (maps, photos, artist renderings).
