Synopsis:
In the 1960s and '70s, class struggle surged in U.S. industrial cities. Many leftists joined these struggles by going to work in the nation's factories; among them was Noel Ignatiev. He labored in different factories during this period, and this memoir came from his experiences as an electrician in the blast furnace division of U.S. Steel Gary Works. His first-hand account reveals the day-to-day workings of white supremacy, patriarchy, and the exploitation of labor. More so, though, we see the seeds of a new society sown in the workers' on-the-job resistance. The stories Noel tells are gripping and humorous--and at times will bring you to tears.
About the Author: Noel Ignatiev (1940-2019) was a revolutionary his entire adult life. He worked for 23 years in industry and for 33 years in academia. He was the author of How the Irish Became White; co-editor of Race Traitor, an American Book Award winner; and editor of A New Notion: Two Works by C.L.R. James and The Lesson of the Hour: Wendell Phillips on Abolition & Strategy. He was also the founding editor of Urgent Tasks: Journal of the Revolutionary Left; Race Traitor, Journal of the New Abolitionism; and Hard Crackers: Chronicles of Everyday Life.
