What is Defending rights : law, labor politics, and the state in California, 1890-1925 about?
In ongoing efforts to understand the exceptionalism of the American labor movement, historians have proposed a reason why American unions never fully embraced the independent and social democratic politics of their European counterparts: a hostile legal system, they argue, fostered a deep distrust of state intervention among early labor leaders. Thomas Clark joins revisionists in questioning this apolitical and antistatist characterization of the early labor movement, but from a new perspective.
