Reviews
With this mass of original documents, Keil and Jentz have conveyed the lost world of Chicago's German working class. They have drawn out the language, imagery, and aspirations of a major ethnic group within the context of a city then on the threshold of becoming a great industrial center. Relying on the scholarly initiatives of the "new social historians," the editors, by their illuminating headnotes and shrewd choices, re-create both the residual and oppositional culture, the latter taking the form of May Day parades, commemorations of Haymarket, etc. Their work will advance ethnic and labor historical scholarship; a model for other such studies.
