The Cambridge History of Global Migrations: Migrations, 1800-Present
Volume II presents an authoritative overview of the various continuities and changes in migration and globalization from the 1800s to the present day. Despite revolutionary changes in communication technologies, the growing accessibility of long-distance travel, and globalization across major economies, the rise of nation-states empowered immigration regulation and bureaucratic capacities for enforcement that curtailed migration. One major theme …
Making History the UCW Way
It was hard not to be excited by the prospect of Amazon workers voting for a union in Bessemer, Alabama, and it was damned disappointing when they didn't. But the Amazon campaign was not the only union campaign to watch in the South. Over the last few years, locals of the United Campus Workers (UCW)—an affiliate of the Communication Workers of America (CWA)—have been popping up on public university campuses across the South and beyond.This moveme…
Making the Empire Work: Labor and United States Imperialism
Millions of laborers, from the Philippines to the Caribbean, performed the work of the United States empire. Forging a global economy connecting the tropics to the industrial center, workers harvested sugar, cleaned hotel rooms, provided sexual favors, and filled military ranks. Placing working men and women at the center of the long history of the U.S. empire, these essays offer new stories of empire that intersect with the “grand narratives” of…

DON MITCHELL. They Saved the Crops: Labor, Landscape, and the Struggle over Industrial Farming in Bracero-Era California
This clearly written and persuasive book is a historical and geographic account of what the author calls the “infrastructures of landscape and labor markets” (p. 96) in California during the era of the bracero program (1942–1964). Using government documents, newspapers, and multiple archival collections, Don Mitchell puts to rest any notion that the program was a response to wartime labor scarcity in California. Rather, he demonstrates, the state…

No Man's Land: Jamaican Guestworkers in America and the Global History of Deportable Labor
From South Africa in the nineteenth century to Hong Kong today, nations around the world, including the United States, have turned to guestworker programs to manage migration. These temporary labor recruitment systems represented a state-brokered compromise between employers who wanted foreign workers and those who feared rising numbers of immigrants. Unlike immigrants, guestworkers could not settle, bring their families, or become citizens, and …

The Worst Job in the World: Reform, Revolution, and the Secret Rebellion in Florida's Cane Fields
Governments around the world are embracing guestworkers as a flexible labor force. The untold story of 1960s-era strike wave among Caribbean sugarcane cutters in Florida shows how the longest-running US guestworker program - the H2 Program - has functioned. The program, which began in 1942 and continues today, provided Florida's sugarcane industry with its sole source of harvest field labor, and became all the more important in the 1960s as the C…
Coolies and Cane: Race, Labor, and Sugar in the Age of Emancipation
Moon-Ho Jung's brilliant and beautifully written Coolies and Cane is not primarily a social history of Chinese labor in the cane fields of Louisiana. Its subject is the stereotype of the Chinese as “coolies,” as an easily subjugated race, and “coolieism,” the prospect or threat of (ostensibly) voluntary contract laborers from Asia entering the United States, or, in this case, taking the place of enslaved African Americans on Louisiana's sugar pla…
Not a “Sack of Potatoes”: Why Labor Historians Need to Take Agriculture Seriously
Labor and working class historians, whether explicitly Marxist or not, have tended to use models of class and class formation that privilege urban industrial workers, depicting their lived experience as, somehow, hermetically sealed off from the countryside. Despite an awareness of the intertwined and overlapping nature of rural and urban economies, most historians have treated rural workers as either peasants or slaves, and therefore fitting sub…
