More About This Textbook
Overview
As a historian, Green gives voice to generations of Americans who banded together to fight for social justice. His subjects range from the martyrs of the Haymarket tragedy to the Bread and Roses strikers of 1912, from depression-era struggles for democracy to the civil rights crusaders, from recent Rainbow Coalition campaigns to the latest union organizing drives.
As an activist, Green describes how his participation in the civil rights and labor movements of our own time has transformed his life, first as a student and radical scholar in the 1960s, then as a public historian and teacher of working-class students. He also describes his efforts to break free from academic confinement and "tell movement stories in public," in an attempt to offer hope and counsel to those still fighting for equality and fairness. He concludes with a revealing look at how awareness of past social activism has contributed to the revival of the labor movement during the last ten years, an effort in which Green has been vigorously engaged.
What People Are Saying
David Roediger
David Roediger, University of Minnesota, Twin CitiesA major book by a labor historian who has done more than anyone to produce democratic and usable working class history over the last thirty years. Consistently engaged by workers as his students, audience, and fellow activists, Green's history is rigorous and accessible.
Howard Zinn
This book makes a powerful contribution not only to the world of scholarship but also, in the spirit of its theme, to the larger community outside academe.—Howard Zinn, author of A People's History of the United States
Jon Weiner
Jon Wiener, University of California, IrvineGreen is one of the most thoughtful and knowledgeable of our labor historians, and a fine writer. This book addresses an urgent and complex issue: the relationship of historians to the public. Green poses a profound challenge to the way most historians work today.
Linda Chavez-Thompson
True to its title, James Green's Taking History to Heart demonstrates that the study of labor history is must reading for today's activists-not only because our history provides us with facts and figures about the men, women and events that came before us, but also because it vigorously encourages us to apply the powerful philosophy and hunger for justice that motivated us in the past to the economic and social struggles of the present.— (Linda Chavez-Thompson, executive vice president, AFL-CIO)
