Book excerpt: "A title in the Flashpoints series from Reacting to the Past, Paterson, 1913: A Labor Strike in the Progressive Era is designed to be played during the time typically devoted to teaching the Progressive Era in U.S. History II. Set in America's "Silk City," Paterson, New Jersey, the game pits manufacturers, who try to keep Paterson's key economic engine running, against labor leaders, who demand a general strike to achieve better working conditions across the silk industry. In the middle of this conflict are townspeople, who must decide whom to support and how to survive a labor struggle that seems to have no end in sight"--
Download or read book The Fragile Bridge written by Steve Golin and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this full-length study of the 1913 Paterson silk strike, Steve Golin examines the creative collaboration between the silk workers, organizers from the Industrial Workers of the World, and Greenwich Village intellectuals. Although the strike was defeated, this alliance could become a model for the American left because it suggests the possibilities of connecting economic, political, and cultural struggles.Combining perspectives from labor history, social history, and intellectual history Golin argues that while the silk workers began the 1913 strike and controlled it themselves, the IWW helped them create institutions that supported the strike and reinforced its radically democratic character. The deadlock in Paterson dictated the need for a "bridge" to New York that was facilitated by a growing mutual trust between the Wobblies and intellectuals from Greenwich Village. At the height of the struggle, the IWW and the Village radicals joined the workers in presenting a powerful strike pageant in Madison Square Garden.The story of the 1913 silk strike is important because it challenges long-held conservative assumptions about labor history, including the elitist role of skilled workers, the bureaucratic function of union organization, and the irrelevance of intellectuals. Although the strikers were ultimately defeated, the strike's failure had more damaging consequences for the IWW and the intellectuals than for the workers themselves and Golin views this loss as a major turning point for the American left. Author note: Steve Golin is Professor of History at Bloomfield College in New Jersey.
Book Synopsis Vivas to Those Who Have Failed: Poems by : Martín Espada
Download or read book Vivas to Those Who Have Failed: Poems written by Martín Espada and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2016-01-04 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Award-winning poet Martín Espada gives voice to the spirit of endurance in the face of loss. In this powerful new collection of poems, Martín Espada articulates the transcendent vision of another, possible world. He invokes the words of Whitman in “Vivas to Those Who Have Failed,” a cycle of sonnets about the Paterson Silk Strike and the immigrant laborers who envisioned an eight-hour workday. At the heart of this volume is a series of ten poems about the death of the poet’s father. “El Moriviví” uses the metaphor of a plant that grows in Puerto Rico to celebrate the many lives of Frank Espada, community organizer, civil rights activist, and documentary photographer, from a jailhouse in Mississippi to the streets of Brooklyn. The son lyrically imagines his father’s return to a bay in Puerto Rico: “May the water glow blue as a hyacinth in your hands.” Other poems confront collective grief in the wake of the killings at the Sandy Hook Elementary School and police violence against people of color: “Heal the Cracks in the Bell of the World” urges us to “melt the bullets into bells.” Yet the poet also revels in the absurd, recalling his dubious career as a Shakespearean “actor,” finding madness and tenderness in the crowd at Fenway Park. In exquisitely wrought images, Espada’s poems show us the faces of Whitman’s “numberless unknown heroes.”

Download or read book New York 1913 written by Martin Green and published by Macmillan Reference USA. This book was released on 1988 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this work, Green shows how two notable, seemingly quite disparate events of the pre-WW I era converged, both in time and place, and (more importantly) in their enthusiasm for radical art and radical politics. Champions of the Armory Show and the Paterson Strike Pageant interpreted these events as liberating forces from bourgeois tastes and bourgeois economics. Their common cause notwithstanding, Green notes the lines of divergence between these two celebrations and among their supporters, both then and in the years that immediately followed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the story of 15,000 wool workers who went on strike for more than a year, defying police violence and hunger. The strikers were mainly immigrants and half were women. The Passaic textile strike, the first time that the Communist Party led a mass workers’ struggle in the United States, captured the nation’s imagination and came to symbolize the struggle of workers throughout the country when the labor movement as a whole was in decline during the conservative, pro-business 1920s. Although the strike was defeated, many of the methods and tactics of the Passaic strike presaged the struggles for industrial unions a decade later in the Great Depression.
