Summary
In 'Heartland Blues', Marc Dixon sheds a new light on unions, their evolution, and eventual decline in the United States by revisiting the labor movement in the 1950s. Drawing on social movement theories and archival materials, he follows campaigns over labor rights in the industrial Midwest, demonstrating how union divisions, unreliable political allies, and substantial employer opposition all combined to slow the labor movement at its historical peak.--, Provided by publisher
