Description
At a time of high unemployment, failing economies and slashed public spending, what does the future hold? On the heels of the expansive Occupy movement, the lessons of history are a vital handhold for the thousands of activists and citizens everywhere who sense that something has gone terribly wrong. This pithy yet accessible volume provides readers with an understanding of the history that is directly relevant to the economic and political crises working people face today. Labor Rising points the way to a revitalized 21st century labour movement.
