- Title
City of Workers, City of Struggle: How Labor Movements Changed New York ed. by Joshua B. Freeman (review).
- Authors
Juravich, Nick
- Abstract
Freeman explains the need for this, noting that "New York City was not a place most Americans thought of when they thought of the CIO" and arguing that "too often, New Yorkers take labor and labor movements for granted, seeing them as simply part of the landscape" (107, 225). In periodizing this section with well-known dates in New York City's history, and by authoring essays that situate familiar developments in the national labor movement within the five boroughs, Freeman and his coauthors provide a dynamic, interconnected story of labor and the city. These pieces reinforce the core claim of the exhibition - as Freeman puts it, that "labor shaped New York and New York shaped labor" - while broadening the scope of the inquiry both topically and chronologically (220).
