- Title
Living and Dying on the Factory Floor: From the Outside In and the Inside Out by David Ranney (review).
- Authors
Tully, John
- Abstract
Ranney is rightly scornful of the Trumpian notion of the postwar years as a great age of "middle-class jobs" and prosperity for American workers. It does not escape Ranney that he is hired, as a greenhorn, for one of the best jobs: he is allowed to leapfrog Black and Latino workers who have toiled for years in the worst jobs in the plant. Ranney is intensely critical of other (unspecified) leftist groups that tried to sidestep the crucial question of working-class racism - particularly that of white workers toward Black and Latino workers.
