"This all-too-rare example of history at its best combines
interesting stories told within a context of weighty, yet
accessible ideas. An appropriate capstone to Dubofsky's long and
distinguished career."--Choice
"Dubofsky's articles continue to instruct us in our present work as
labor and social historians, even as they serve as an insightful
guide to critical aspects in the evolution of the field over the
last four decades. Culled from a lifetime of scholarship, these
essays now gathered together remind us of our debt to his
pronounced historical curiosity, careful research, and innovative
interpretive analysis. It is a boon to have them collected in a
volume so useful for teaching at all levels."--Nick Salvatore,
author of Eugene V. Debs: Citizen and Socialist
"Dubofsky's essays are central to the current labor history
literature. Anyone serious about labor history as a field of study
will want to own this book."--Robert Zieger, author
of American Workers, American Unions
