Sommario/riassunto |
|
Intelligent and Honest Radicals explores the Chicago labor movement's relationship to Illinois legal and political system. Matza focuses on the significant era between the great strike in 1919 to Franklin D. Roosevelt's inauguration and the beginning of the New Deal in 1933. He brings to light a number of victories and achievements for the labor movement in this period that are often over looked. |
