Synopsis

A focused look at race, labor, and public policy in the early 1980s.

This collection surveys civil rights issues through essays and profiles, offering analysis from scholars and practitioners about unions, government policy, and media. Drawing on real-world events, it invites readers to consider how race and work intersect with power and politics.

The book gathers thoughtful pieces on Hispanic and Black participation in unions, leadership dynamics in labor movements, immigration policy, and the social value of women's work. It presents historical context and contemporary debates to illuminate ongoing struggles for equality and opportunity.

• Examinations of unionization patterns among Hispanics and Blacks and what they reveal about workplace power
• Profiles of labor leaders and organizing efforts that shaped regional and national labor movements
• Explorations of media influence on public perception and policy discussions
• Discussions of immigration policy, gender, and the economics of household labor

Ideal for readers interested in civil rights history, labor politics, and social policy analysis from that era.
