The AFL in the Progressive Era 1910-15

This volume explores labor and Progressivism and traces the origins before this period. The concentration is on an era of great labor militancy, an era which produced "a great transformation of workers' consciousness in America." The focus of this volume is not on inchoate dissatisfaction but on organized resistance, on workers who belonged to trade unions, and on their commitment to organize the unorganized, and the struggle for change in their lives.

The History of the Labor Movement in the United States

The Great Depression, 1929-1932

2022

In 1947, at the time of completing Volume I of the History of the Labor Movement in the United States, Foner reflected on the role of a Marxist historian of labor. Foner summed up the role this to present an "historical view which will enlighten our present struggles, will stimulate the foresight of labor's thinkers and leaders, and give to the great mass of our workers the clarity, courage and determination to forge ahead for the attainment of their immediate ends, and for the accomplishment of the historical mission of the working the abolition of the exploitation of man by man." In Volume XI Foner remained true to this goal. The book radiates enlightenment for current struggles and encouragement for those fighting for a socialist future.
