Sommario/riassunto |
|
During the heyday of the U.S. and international labor movements in the 1930's and 1940's, Ferdinand Smith, the Jamaican-born co-founder and second-in-command of the National Maritime Union (NMU), stands out as one of the most-if not the most-powerful black labor leaders in the United States. Smith's active membership in the Communist Party, however, coupled with his bold labor radicalism and shaky immigration status, brought him under continual surveillance by U.S. authorities, especially during the Red Scare in the 1950's. Smith was eventually deported to his homeland of Jamaica, where he |

Sommario/riassunto |

« La grande histoire a longtemps oublié l’alun, parce qu’il était un personnage discret, comme elle a longtemps négligé de s’intéresser au blé, à l’huile, et en général à tout ce qui est indispensable à la vie quotidienne » déclarait Jean Delumeau au début de la conclusion de son ouvrage L’alun de Rome, paru en 1962. C’est qu’une fois identifiée la place centrale de cette substance pour l’industrie textile, et dans une moindre mesure pour la mégisserie, voire la métallurgie, il était relativement aisé, grâce à une abondante documentation archivistique, d’en retracer les fluctuations économiques et politiques durant les périodes médiévales et modernes. |
