  • There is Power in a Unionby Philip Dray

    Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group 2010; US$ 14.99

    From an award-winning historian, a stirring (and timely) narrative history of American labor from the dawn of the industrial age to the present day.

    Oxford University Press, USA 1995; US$ 18.95

    Since its publication twenty-five years ago, Free Soil, Free Labor, Free Men has been recognized as a classic, an indispensable contribution to our understanding of the causes of the American Civil War.

Now with a new introduction, Eric Foner puts his argument into the context of contemporary scholarship, reassessing the concept of free labor in the light of the last twenty-five years of writing on such issues as work, gender, economic change, and political thought. A significant reevaluation of the causes of the Civil War, Foner's study looks beyond the North's... more...
