Newly updated: âAn enjoyable introduction to American working-class history.â âThe American Prospect Praised for its âimpressive even-handednessâ, From the Folks Who Brought You the Weekend has set the standard for viewing American history through the prism of working people (Publishers Weekly, starred review). From indentured servants and slaves in seventeenth-century Chesapeake to high-tech workers in contemporary Silicon Valley, the book â[puts] a human face on the people, places, events, and social conditions that have shaped the evolution of organized laborâ, enlivened by illustrations from the celebrated comics journalist Joe Sacco (Library Journal). Now, the authors have added a wealth of fresh analysis of laborâs role in American life, with new material on sex workers, disability issues, laborâs relation to the global justice movement and the immigrantsâ rights movement, the 2005 split in the AFL-CIO and the movement civil wars that followed, and the crucial emergence of worker centers and their relationships to unions. With two entirely new chaptersâone on global developments such as offshoring and a second on the 2016 election and unionsâ relationships to Trumpâthis is an âextraordinarily fine addition to U.S. history [that] could become an evergreen . . . comparable to Howard Zinnâs award-winning A Peopleâs History of the United Statesâ (Publishers Weekly). âA marvelously informed, carefully crafted, far-ranging history of working people.â âNoam Chomsky
