The Fall of the House of Labor: The Workplace, the State, and American Labor Activism, 1865–1925 (Volume 0) - Softcover
Synopsis
By studying the ways in which American industrial workers mobilized concerted action in their own interest, the author focuses on the workplace itself, examining the codes of conduct developed by different types of workers and the connections between their activity at work and their national origins and neighborhood life. David Montgomery, Farnam Professor of History at Yale University since 1979, is the author of Worker's Control in America (CUP, 1979) and is co-editor of the journal International Labor and Working Class History.

From the Back Cover
'This book offers the most sweeping portrait of working-class life yet to emerge from the new labor history. It is a subtle, complex, often brilliant study, which demonstrates how far labor scholarship has moved in a generation.' --Alan Brinkley, New Republic

Paperback. Condition: Good. This book studies the changing ways in which American industrial workers mobilised concerted action in their own interests between the abolition of slavery and the end of open immigration from Europe and Asia. Sustained class conflict between 1916 and 1922 reshaped governmental and business policies, but left labour largely unorganised and in retreat. The House of Labor, so arduously erected by working-class activists during the preceeding generation, did not collapse, but ossified, so that when labour activism was reinvigorated after 1933, the movement split in two. These developments are analysed here in ways which stress the links between migration, neighbourhood life, racial subjugation, business reform, the state, and the daily experience of work itself.
