What is Working-class New York : life and labor since World War II about?

Working-class New York Is The Moving Story Of The Creation By Workers And Their Allies Of A Local Social Democracy, Remarkable In Its Ambitions And Achievements, And The Ways It Came Crashing Down. With A Keen Eye For Historical Detail And A Firm Grasp Of The Intricacies Of New York City Politics, Freeman Shows How The Anti-communist Purges Of The 1950s Decimated The Ranks Of The Labor Movement And Demoralized Its Idealism, And How The Fiscal Crisis Of The Mid-1970s Dealt A Crushing Blow To Liberal Ideals As The City's Wealthy Elite Made An Audacious Grab For Power. A Work Of Cultural And Social History, Working-class New York Is A Chronicle Of A Dream That Died But That May Yet Rise Again, And A Celebration Of The Sophistication, Energy, And Inventiveness Of Ordinary New Yorkers.--book Jacket.
