Textile workers in Massachusetts decided to cooperate with their employers in union negotiations, but their jobs still shifted to South America. (48-55) Loom mechanics in Medellin, fleeing violent Colombia to repair old machines in Massachusetts, faced the same anti-immigrant, low wage environment resisted by the immigrant laborers who built the original looms exported to Colombian textile factories decades prior. (168) Clean coal requirements in US energy generation plants displaced Alabama miners; In turn they were replaced by indigenous miners previously removed from their land to then toil in low sulfur Cerrejon Zona Norte operations in coastal Colombia; operations owned by and producing quite profitably for Exxon. (267-291) Drummond Company miners in Colombia seeking union protection faced violence condoned by government officials, eerily like the chaotic strikes in northern US factories in the 1910s and 1920s (277-278), while multinational corporations with large defense contracts with the United States and Colombian governments supplied materials in general support. Colombian union activists visited laborers in Massachusetts seeking solidarity (290-292), in the same region where Nicola Sacco a century earlier had joined with the International Workers of the World to fight similar conditions. (44-46)

Were these developments simply anecdotes supporting the ‘invisible hand’ concept behind capitalism? Or is there a broader and more developed coordination between business and government which leads to an inevitable ‘race to the bottom’ (11,211-212,268), that pits worker against worker and eventually places the working class globally in the same bucket? Is there an avenue for this developing global working class to pursue countermeasures to achieve humane results in the age of globalization? (303)

Aviva Chomsky takes on these questions in a well written and provocative fashion in Linked Labor Histories.

This book is a study into the impact of Globalization on two regions of the world, New England and Colombia, in the 20th century. The overall theme of her work is the linkage between the laborers in each region and how, despite their seemingly disparate interests, they became pawns in a complicated process that over time reduced each side to a single, global working class. Chomsky weaves a pattern of coordination among industry, US government domestic and foreign policy, finance and immigration. The AFL-CIO union evolved into a policy supporting ‘Americanism’, which inevitably led to labor-management collaboration while softening the fighting spirit of unions. (22-30, 123-126) This pattern rewarded multinational corporations, allied governments and US consumers. Chomsky provides a convincing tale regarding the long and predictable ‘race to the bottom’ which characterized the 20th century relationship for the working class in these two regions. She reaches significant conclusions regarding the causes of the de-industrialization of the United States, the United States support for military and para-military units in Colombia, the coal extraction bonanza for Exxon and the supplying of major defense provider contracts. She caps her study with the question of whether labor should accommodate or fight.

Chomsky approaches her subject from two paradigms; the first connects the themes of migration, labor-management collaboration and global economic restructuring, while the second applies case studies to detail events reflecting these themes. (6-12) She begins her work by closely examining the textile industry in New England in the early to middle 20th century, through the ramp up and subsequent de-industrialization stories of the Draper and Naumkeag Steam Cotton Companies.These two are used to exemplify not only the loom and textile industries, but other sectors where the themes of migration, collaboration and restructuring can be applied.

The Draper Company’s products were looms for turning cotton and other fibers into fabrics and materials for clothing and industrial applications, and the introduction of the Northrop Loom after 1910 led to significant productivity increases for the textile industry, and dramatic sales increases for Draper. In addition to supplying looms to textile mills in New England, the company was also supporting a growing textile industry in the southern United States as well as exporting their looms to growing textile sites in South America. Naumkeag, like many other textile organizations based in New England, expanded aggressively to the southern United States, and then to Puerto Rico and finally Colombia. This expansion was against a backdrop of cost challenges caused by government regulations, increased competition from European based textile companies and the resultant price erosion, and labor strife. Draper’s Northrop loom manufacturing processes reflected the ongoing results of ‘efficiency studies' and scientific management enhancements designed to continually increase productivity. (37-40) To gain the most out of their new looms, the textile firms encouraged ‘speed-up and stretch-out’ processes to gain more output with fewer workers. (56-57,64) Manufacturing and textile producing companies of New England, as exemplified by Draper and Naumkeag, had employee pools initially of north European/American stock that had evolved to immigrants from southern and eastern Europe after the turn of the century. Both firms exemplified the manufacturing and textile industry of the region by pitting recent immigrants against their employees, using replacement workers during strikes, which were common and often violent, with International Workers of the World engagement and radicalization present.

Over time, Draper built plants in South Carolina and Georgia, moving most manufacturing and related jobs out of New England. By the late 1960s, Draper was absorbed by Rockwell Standard Company, the predecessor to today’s defense contractor Rockwell Automation (43). Naumkeag eventually faded away after being sold off to a division spun off from Textron Corporation, a multinational which had scooped up numerous textile firms but had since oriented its activities to defense contracting. (104-106). The fading away of Draper and Naumkeag and others similar, and their absorption of these into defense contractors, was a confirmation of a trend described by Chomsky. Also, their demise reflects the actions of American unions, believing in protecting American companies as part of their patriotic duty. This labor-management collaboration, coupled with the migration of both people and plants and the ongoing global economic restructuring of businesses, confirms the trend identified by Chomsky. Left in the lurch were the workers, in both New England and Colombia.

Chomsky continues the case study approach with laborers in Colombia, highlighting the Uraba zone in the northern part of the country where bananas were produced and where the United Fruit Company’s Banadex division was present. (193) violent means to suppress organizing or striking, Banadex employed the services of para-military forces unofficially linked to the Colombian government and backed by US arms sales. (194-196) Countering the para-military were guerilla fighters of FARC, adding to the chaos in Uraba and supporting the banana field laborers. (195, 206) Only on the sporadic occasions when peace was reached did a semblance of security for the workers exist; only through collaboration with management by surrendering to the threat from UFCO of taking production elsewhere did labor survive. Whenever possible, the working class sought emigration opportunities.

Chomsky concludes by seeking to erase inequity among the global working class on local, national and international levels. While not prescribing specific solutions, Chomsky spells out with fervor the need to prevent the powerful companies, unions and governments which drive globalization from profiting from this condition. (302-303) The first step in this direction is to understand what has occurred, and this book offers an excellent starting point in this endeavor.

Henry Bryant and Katina VanCronkhite’s excursion through East Atlanta, delves into the oral history as well as the documented history of this area. They take to task examining an area as a whole, by starting at the very beginning of East Atlanta’s history. Both of the Authors are residents of East Atlanta, Henry Bryant is a community leader and historian, Katina VanCronkhite is a researcher and a historian; together they have found a way to make understanding the history of an area simple to a reader who may not be aware of the technical gargin that would be used between scholars. As a historian or a person who studies geography this book may be looked at as an unconventional way to thoroughly explain their findings. To explain where East Atlanta is you have to describe the border streets in order to mark off where it “begins and ends”. This is the initial task the authors take on, as this has fluctuated over times as characteristics, landmarks and streets altogether have come and gone over the decades. Readers unfamiliar with the landscape of Atlanta would be able to have a better gauge as to the location of East Atlanta by stating this was the area for the start of the Battle of Atlanta in 1864.

At just over 100 pages, Bryant and VanCronkhite chronicle the history of East Atlanta at a variety of different points in history. The images included vary from hey photographs and history of important persons’ and how their influence impacted East Atlanta. To images of buildings and site that may or may not still exist. By encompassing images and history behind them, the reader begins to get a greater feel for the changing landscape and the amount of information that surrounds East Atlanta. By having the images organized chronological order and adding a blurb about each image allowed for a large period of time to be covered in a relatively short book. It does not go into great detail, but allows the reader to get a general understanding of the area and how things have progressed from early settlement to around 2012-2014 when the book was published.

Early Settlement and Civil War
The authors introduce the area that is now East Atlanta, was originally inhabited by the Creek Native American people. In 1821 the Creeks were moved (forcibly moved) to an Oklahoma Territory after a treaty was signed. After this area was cleared a land lottery was held to divide the area to “longtime American citizens” (interesting phrasing here). This chapter goes on to include images of prominent people and sites from this era; such as a plaque that highlights the major trade routes of the Cherokee and Creek Indians. This plaque unlike some of the other sites and images highlighted throughout the book still exists, in 1932 it was placed on the old DeKalb County courthouse and was able to be saved.
This chapter highlights major areas in East Atlanta that natives and tourist alike would recognize. There is a historic image of Flat Shoals Ave, one of the major roads in East Atlanta, which was named for the granite shoals in the South River.

From Battleground to Village
Resilience is a major strength of East Atlanta. After the Battle of Atlanta, it took over a decade for the people who survived the war to make a comeback. With a new life developing in Atlanta, it was overflowing to the streets of East Atlanta as well. The boom of mercantile stores, schools, places of worship a healthy community began to take shape. Although this positive change was taking place, evidence of the war is still evident everywhere. In 1909 is when the City of Atlanta officially annexed East Atlanta, and commercial development skyrocketed in the area. Residential development began after the arrival of the Metropolitan Street Railway, streets in the area were named after the investors and directors into the railway such as Moreland, Brown, Haas. The start of the business area in East Atlanta was marked by J.W. Mcwilliams store, which not only was a general merchandise store, but also house the areas first post office and telephone. During this time there was a influx of businesses in the area; East Atlanta Pharmacy, East Atlanta Market, & East Atlanta Bank. Residential homes began to populate the area to house the families who were beginning businesses in this up and coming area. One of these homes built by an Atlanta Lumberjack John William Zuber, is one of the few homes to still exist and is the only one that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. During this time you also see a great influx of places of worship and schools as the cities population steadily increases.

Thriving and Surviving
By the 1920’s, East Atlanta was now an independent community it offered the same things a large city like Atlanta, but with a community feel. A number of schools have been developed, & dozens of new business were attracted to the area. East Atlanta was not immune to the effects of the Great Depression, the community continued to stay strong and relied on each other heavily. By 1932 paving of the streets showed a turn for better times and economic growth for the area. This chapter delves into the optimism on survival of East Atlanta,it was the suburban optimism and growth of this once rural community. Atlanta continued to grow and its influence began to stretch across Georgia. As the city grew, with it came expressways and skyscrapers.

World War II and the Boom
When WWII broke out, East Atlanta was still a very close knit community, but the effects of war brought about significant changes. The end of the war marked a new turn for the community, residential areas and business continued to flourish. With this came an influx to the population and the bounds began to expand to accomodate the residents. During this chapter you see many new developments take place and can see how the city is changing to accommodate the changing times.

Divided by the Interstate and Integration
During the 1960s & 1970s changes to the city majorly began to affect East Atlanta. During this time came about the construction of Interstate 20, which would isolate the area from towns in the north. Another major occurrence during this time was the Civil Rights Movement. The social changes and making the community interracial brought fear to the areas white residences and they chose to uproot and flee the area. The turn over in the area was quick and swift from 1970 the demographics at the local high school was 70 percent white 30 percent black, just the next year those numbers were completely opposite. With such a quick turn in races many white ran/owned/operated churches and businesses began to struggle and close their doors. While this was sad many of the new African American residents were able to use this to their benefit and create successful black owned businesses and hold leadership positions. Desegregation and the construction of Interstate 20 brought about major changes to this are, street names and schools began to reflect these changes with new names.

Rebuilding Together
By 1980, East Atlanta the affordable housing and proximity to the city brought about a new influx of residents to the area. Newcomers to the area and old residents began to advocate for a quality of life for the neighborhood. Much needed change and redevelopment to the area began to take place. This was much needed due to the changes in demographics and residents in the area. Over time East Atlanta has once again become a thriving independent community.

As the title suggests, this book written by Dawn Spring details the ideas of advertising strategies and branding and how, in the middle of the twentieth century, these practices managed to gain a foothold and eventually cement themselves as an integral part of the American business and economic machine. While advertising had its place within American markets prior to the 1940’s, it was with the outbreak of World War II as well as the growing paranoia that was brought about during the Cold War era that truly put the power in the hands of American advertising firms as an organization with the ability to promote American idealism and spirit which soon became a key element of these large firms to help increase their influence over many facets of not only the American business system, but the federal government and the American way of life as well. American advertisers would begin their experience as promoters of the American spirit with the role that they would play during war time American in the 1940’s. Wartime propaganda was seen as a powerful tool and form of advertising that would assist in the glorification of enlisted soldiers in the American military and the painting of foreign enemies as wrong doers, but more importantly, propaganda would serve to promote American values as well as unify Americans under these values to form one singular idea of nation identity. With the conclusion of the war in the middle of the 1940’s, the success of the propaganda campaigns supporting the war effort lead to talk of applying these same advertising strategies in post-war America to peacetime advertising organizations.
Much like the wartime propaganda that strove to unify American thought, so too did the newly established peacetime advertising firms and programs continue their efforts to effectively unify American’s thoughts and opinions through an impartial and unoffensive campaign; though people could have different political views, advertising programs sought to ignore taking sides during this time. Advertisers understood that they could attack a non-American way of thinking, but had to remain in a position to support all opinions under the American system; while contradictory, this would lead to many moral victories for the reputations of American advertising agencies even if they did not fully practice all that they preached. Dawn Spring talks in great length on the creation of the Freedom Train which was a national tour created by advertising firms and the federal government of the time in order to continue the promotion of the American spirit and ideology that had united Americans during World War II. While the Freedom Train’s objective was the education of all Americans on the ways of patriotism, it is important to note, the advertisers targeted the education of the youth as they believed educating America at a young age would better cement the ideals they were promoting to Americans across the nation. The Freedom Train also had other goals in mind as the endorsement of civil duties such as voting as well as the promotion of symbolic themes like the American Flag would not only create an American image that was being used by many as a basis of their national identity, but also strengthen many advertising agencies influence. Although advertisers found some road blocks with the Freedom Train, overall, they found it to reaffirm their power and influence over American opinion as well as the growing need to persuade Americans to actively contribute their opinions in the participation of the American way of life. While advertisers had immense power over the American mindset at this time, they understood that their relationship with the American people was a two way street; advertising companies needed the approval of public opinion in order to maintain a position of power in the American market economy. Though remaining as impartial as possible at times, advertising companies would soon begin approaching different audiences and groups of people with specific strategies and products that would better appeal to them mentally and psychologically; the ideas of demographics and differing opinions would soon lead to a completely new approach of marketing strategies enlisting the help of many psychologist and other professionals as they were a great asset to the planning and teaching of these new advertising strategies. It is here that Dawn Spring talks of a new idea within the marketing and advertising sphere which was the idea of branding. The practice of branding products would be used to better advertise certain qualities and assurances associated a with product to be known before purchasing that would create not only a growing need for companies to begin the practice of branding, but also the growing influence of advertising firms over these companies as they were seen as the creative force behind this movement. This influence would soon lead to the creation of the Brand Name Foundation. Similar to earlier efforts of advertising programs such as the Freedom Train, the Brand Name Foundation began advertising to a diverse crowd of all ages intending to educate and unify Americans under the idea of brand loyalty; unity through similar product and brand preferences. The Brand Name Foundation would put into place many marketing campaigns that would cause a major tipping point in favor of branding products and companies as it targeted retailers and endorsed the importance of American brand name items.
The rapid adoption and success of the branding in American came up with the idea that brand names created a market full of choices and that it was up to the American consumer to make a choice for themselves as to which product they preferred; the idea of branding soon became a patriotic practice as it “linked brand-name goods and the choice between consumer goods with democracy” (47). Similar to wartime propaganda, the patriotic themes that soon became associated with market advertising and branding would lead to the creation of the ideal image of American life and thought; a brand name for the American nation. Dawn Spring again makes connections to the Freedom Train campaign as the branding of an ideal America would give the public an image to rally behind as though the nation was made up of many opinions, all could stand behind and believe in the American dream and the American way of life. This strong American image would soon gain even better footing and be used to greater effect during the Cold War era in American history. As peacetime required other means of insuring America’s strength outside of combat, American advertising and business were seen as the perfect way to counteract the effects of the Cold War and ideas that surrounded Communist thought. American advertisers and branders would continue to pitch democratic themes to the nation’s citizens as well as continue molding the country as a brand “creating an international brand for the country, symbolized by red, white, and blue and stars and stripes” (85). The need to link advertising agency practices to foreign markets and policies would further strengthen the roles of advertisers in American business practices; the plugging of American business practices into foreign markets would promote the ideas of a free enterprise and free market system that would directly contradict the economic model of communist countries.
Dawn Spring concludes her work with the 1960’s and with the growing technological market that was being tapped into by advertising firms. While advertising and branding are seen as marketing standards in today’s modern world, Dawn Spring’s book serves to illustrate how prior to this, advertisers and brand name makers had to work at linking their profession and trade to the very foundation of American economics allowing for longevity in an America market that might have considered it an unnecessary profession. Soon becoming a core practice in American economics, these agencies took measures to make sure the nation did not view advertising and branding as economic waste and instead as a necessary tool used to identity the limitless potential of the American spirit.

In the last few years of the twentieth century, Lucy Kaylin, then a senior editor for ''GQ'', spent four years interviewing sisters around the United States. That work culminated in ''For the Love of God: The Faith and Future of the American Nun.'' More a collection of Kaylin’s personal insights into the lives of this disparate group of sisters than an ethnographic study, the book provides glimpses into the circumstances, motivations and ideas of the religious life of these women. She highlighted a considerable number of sisters, from those who had decided to work in circuses to those who lived in monasteries. However, she did not include cites about any of those interviews in her “Selected Bibliography.” That alone was a clue that, despite my desire to find a serious, somewhat contemporary study of American sisters, this was not going to be it.

Important to background work to any discussion of contemporary American sisters, Kaylin has done some research into the impact on Catholic sisters of The Second Vatican Council, known as Vatican II, giving her readers an idea of the dramatic impact of that consistory on Catholic religious life, Most important, it’s aftermath created a substantial reduction in the number of US sisters that caused the closing of many US Catholic schools, changing the character of Catholic K-12 education permanently. “The American nun population reached its peak of more than 181,000 in 1965. Ten years later their numbers had dropped to 135,000. Today there are roughly 84,000, with a median age nearing seventy (5).” Those were the numbers at the publication of Kaylin’s book in 2000. In 2014, the Pew Research Center estimated the number of US sisters at around 50,000 (http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2014/08/08/u-s-nuns-face-shrinking-numbers-and-tensions-with-the-vatican/). As an example of the current situation, in 2016, approximately 50 sisters died in the Adrian Dominican Congregation of the less than 800 still remaining in this congregation at the beginning of that year, a congregation which had 2400 sisters in 1965. On this point, Kaylin was definitely correct. American women religious lost many of their numbers as a result of Vatican II and those remaining are now dying in large numbers, with very few sisters coming in to take their place.

Lucy Kaylin does bring the skills of a very good writer to this work, giving her readers strong portraits of the women she profiles. Talking about a sister who is looking at her “wedding album” that celebrates her taking final profession to join a group of cloistered sisters, Kaylin says, “Tucked into the album are congratulatory cards, including one from the abbess, Sister Rucia. In closing, her message says, ‘I look forward to growing old together.’ That is a profound dividend. By entering this community women elect to spend the rest of their days with like-minded women, marking time in a quiet, controlled way that masks the radicalism of a life that’s been shorn of all the usual comforts and pleasures (117-118).” Talking about one of the sisters who has decided to confront the male hierarchy of the Catholic Church, Kaylin describes Sister Donna Quinn in this way, “an iconoclast and a feminist, [she] is the sort of sister who seems most alive while squaring off in a controversy; confronting bishops and cardinals has proved as exhilarating as it is scary (226).” She goes on to describe the risk of that confrontation between Quinn and the male establishment of the Church, “those who refused were to be threatened with dismissal (227).”

When Kaylin’s book first appeared, it was reviewed by the ''Los Angeles Times'' and the ''Library Journal'', among a few others. Unfortunately, the reviews I could find were written by people who seemed to have at best a cursory knowledge of women religious, the ''LA Times'' writer, for example, saying that the Sister Formation Movement grew out of Vatican II, when it preceded Vatican II, Many sisters believe it was an important precursor to the radicalism of some of the sisters that grew out of Vatican II. Kaylin mentions, but expends very little attention to the Sister Formation Movement, which was pivotal to the focus on sisters’ education that was moving forward in the 1950s and gained momentum in the next decades. Today, it is almost impossible to find sisters who do not have at least a college degree, with many having masters and doctorates in fields from education, to theology and literature and science, and many are medical professionals and lawyers, among other professions.

In the first paragraph of the introduction, Kaylin says, “Before I began the research for this book, I had never once met or spoken with a nun. I viewed this as an asset. Having grown up without religion, I felt sure that I was free of preconceived notions. As it turned out, I was in for a few surprises (1)…theirs is a journey more ardent and fraught than anything we could possibly imagine, especially for those who entered before Vatican II. Surviving the transition from medievalism to modernism was nothing short of hectic (13).” That is a largely accurate description of the impact of Vatican II on the sisters, and on men religious as well. Kaylin correctly tells her readers that Pope John XXIII was supposed to be a caretaker pope who unexpectedly called this consistory, totally shaking up the established church. After Vatican II, even going to church was dramatically different from it had been before 1962. The Latin mass was suddenly spoken in the vernacular of the locality. For the first time, the priest faced the congregation during mass. For sisters, they had the choice of getting out of the thirteenth century habit (to which Kaylin devotes an entire chapter – what its absence meant to sisters – everything from freedom to fear). They could choose their own work rather than being given an assignment, which was usually to be a nurse or a teacher in a location anywhere from down the street to across the seas. It was a time of total upheaval.

Given that Kaylin is talented in giving her readers insight into the thinking and feeling of the women she highlights, it would have been interesting to get her insights into those women who were terrified by these changes or felt, as one cardinal said during Vatican II, that Satan had taken over the council. All of this said, Kaylin’s book was worth the read. She gives us insight into some women who choose a life that most of us would not undertake. It is by no means a study that gives us insight into most sisters in the US. Given the breadth of the differences among these women, that would be impossible for anyone. I had hoped I was accessing a more formal study that was better cited. However, it was an interesting read and for someone like me who is looking for any insights into sisters as I work through my own research, this was worth the time.

The study of labor within the United States has frequently examined private sector labor relations between workers and management. As private sector industrialized labor permeated the country during the first half of the twentieth century, historians have viewed this field as fundamental to understanding the social, economic, and political structures during this period. However, while industrialized labor and unionism played an important role in the formation of a modern America, the post war era also saw a rise in public sector employees who demanded increased autonomy within their profession. John F. Kennedy’s signing of Executive Order 10988 in 1962 provided the right for federal employees to collective bargain, and also paved the way for an increase of public sector unionism at state and local levels. This increased unionization drastically changed the relationship between public sector workers and the state, thus creating new arenas of labor conflict. The importance of public sector unionism on the changing political culture within the United States during the 1960s and 1970s cannot be overstated; nevertheless, public sector unionism has remained an often ignored subject. Recent years, however, has seen an increase of scholarship on this burgeoning field. In his book, Collison Course, historian Joseph McCartin analyzes the air traffic controllers strike during the early 1980s and argues that this strike, and Reagan response’s to it, marked the end of liberal labor policies. In doing so, McCartin places public sector unionism at the heart the country’s shift towards neoliberalism. In his book, The Strike that Changed New York, Jerald Podair adds to the historiography of public sector unionism, while also illustrating the racial and class dynamics that grew out of the public sector.

By examining the Ocean Hill–Brownsville strike in New York City in 1968, Podair contends that the strike had far reaching consequences that reshaped the political and social structures within the city. Stating that, “the Ocean Hill-Brownsville controversy showed black and white New Yorkers to be profoundly at odds over the very shape and definition of human relations in the city,” Podair asserts that the labor strife in 1968 came from a racial divide between whites and blacks. (5) Stemming from opposing definitions of equality, whites and African Americans used education as a forum to voice their differing views on the subject. Podair sees the battles over education as a turning point in the political and racial discourse between whites and African Americans within the city. He states that, “it was about how blacks and whites, with markedly different ideas about equality, pluralism, and being “middle-class” meant, fought for their visions of a fair and just city, and what their different languages meant for the politics and culture of the city in the 1970s and beyond.” (8) While Podair views the Ocean Hill-Brownsville crisis as essential to understanding this shift, he points out that it did not create this gulf in discourse. Nevertheless, the crisis sharpened the racial divide, forcing New Yorkers to reformulate their own political identity, which became an identity based on race and not political ideology.

For Podair, the labor strife that occurred during the Ocean Hill-Brownsville crises centered on racially distinct definitions of community and community based politics. As the labor force and economy changed within New York City in the post war era, from industrial to white collar, African American’s were excluded from the prosperity that permeated white New York. During the 1960s African American’s within New York City increased their demands for inclusion in the post war boom that benefited many whites. At the heart of this demand was education, of which African American’s saw an unequal system that benefited whites and hindered their own education. The unequal system created a demand by African Americans for forced integration through busing. Vehemently opposing the issue of forced busing, whites used community organizing as a vehicle to stop forced integration. For the white citizens who opposed busing, the idea of community and community based politics focused on the exclusion of African Americans. Podair writes that, “this impulse was conservative in nature, a reflection of PAT-ers’ definition of “community” as a stable, safe haven from a hostile outside world.” (28) In the face of this opposition, however, African American leaders shifted the meaning of community and community politics to meet their own needs. In doing so, they created a community based approach to cope with the inequality within education. Here, African Americans demanded a say over the education their children received, thus conflicting with white teachers’ ideas of education.

As African American leaders increasingly viewed community based control as a means to address a broken education system, they sought a place implement their ideas. They found it in the Ocean Hill-Brownsville are of New York City. Gaining support from local government, African American in the Ocean Hill-Brownsville took control of the educational board within the community. They believed that in order to address the economic and social disparity within the city, black students needed black teachers who understood the issues their students faced in a racialized society. Podair argues that this not only stemmed from ideas about race, but over issues of class as well. White, often Jewish teachers, in Ocean Hill-Brownsville sought to impart a white middle class ethos on their African American students. While Podair never directly states it, the move to convey a white middle class culture on black students was steeped in ideas of racial superiority. By pushing their own ideas on what constituted a proper culture, white teachers de-legitimized black culture viewing it as inferior to their own. However, by calling for black teachers to teach black students, the community based education board in Ocean Hill-Brownsville, also sought to strip away autonomy from the majority white teacher’s union, the United Federation of Teachers. Illustrating this, the board canceled the contracts of nineteen white teachers who they viewed as union agitators. The result became a city wide teacher strike that pitted white teachers against the African American community of Ocean Hill-Brownsville.
The strike allowed white liberal Jews to move away from their previously and long held alliance with African Americans, and pushed them towards a political identity that became based on their race, and not their ideology. These Jews, through their whiteness, now found a commonality with Irish Catholics, a group many Jews previously viewed as too conservative to form any type of political coalition. It is through this changing alliance that Podair views the true significance of the strike. By shifting alliances, and basing their political identity on their race, Jews now assisted in the creation of a more conservative power structure that continues to dominate politics within New York City.

While Podair has written an important work on the formation and consequences of the Ocean-Hill Brownsville teacher strike, he could have developed a more detailed analysis on the middle class ideology of white teachers. He appears content on viewing class through the realm of race, but in doing so, Podair struggles to explain what this middle class ethos meant for white teachers, and how it shaped their own struggles as educators. Even a modicum of discussion on this topic would have enhanced his analysis and perhaps sharpened his argument. This critique notwithstanding, Podair’s analysis of the strike illustrates the important influence public sector unionism and labor strife can have on the political and social landscape. Historians of labor, modern US, and race would certainly find his work useful.
