From Library Journal
Glickman (history, Univ. of South Carolina) analyzes the change in labor-movement ideology from aspiring to make workers self-employed artisans to accepting their status as wage earners. Nevertheless, labor unions disdained "wage slavery" and fought for a "living wage" that would reward workers commensurate with their needs as consumers. In doing so, Glickman argues that working-class Americans played an important role in the transformation of America from a producer-driven to a consumer-oriented society. He also disputes earlier influential interpretations of American labor ideology as being "exceptional" compared with European ideology, a view found particularly in the writings of John R. Commons and Selig Perlman. Recommended for labor collections of academic libraries.?Harry Frumerman, formerly with Hunter Coll., New York
