Communists and Community
Ryan S. Pettengill's Communists and Community argues that the Communist party (Cp) and its cooperative organizations in Detroit led demonstrations, held picnics, and gathered petition signatures in grassroots community campaigns for civil rights and peace. They opposed police brutality and deportations of the foreign born and supported African Americans' access to housing and better jobs. Despite continuing grassroots mobilizations after World Wa…
His Final Battle
The volumes under review focus on the concluding period of Franklin D. Roosevelt's life. Joseph Lelyveld's His Final Battle deals with FDR's struggle with his declining health during the last sixteen months of his life. David B. Woolner's The Last 100 Days details FDR's personal and political life on each of the last hundred days.

Rebel Rank and File
Civil rights scholars use the term “long 1960s” to refer to the origins of mass civil rights protest in the 1940s and 1950s and to the continuation of such movements into the early 1970s. For the authors of the edited volume Rebel Rank and File, the term “long 1970s” highlights an upsurge of strike activity in the United States that began in 1965 and ended in 1981. The work focuses on rank-and-file movements among workers in diverse private indus…
Schools of Democracy
Clayton Sinyai surveys the political history of the labor movement from the Gilded Age through the 1968 presidential election and provides interesting discussions of important labor movement debates. A postscript surveys the recent period. The book is a philosophical rumination on the merits of craft unions, which “conserved the workers' civic virtues in the face of a new political economy designed to degrade and insult them” (p. 49). Sinyai surv…

Blacks and Reds
In this important new study, Earl Ofari Hutchinson examines in detail the American Communist Party's efforts to win the allegiance of black Americans and the various responses to this from the black community. Beginning with events of the 1920s, Hutchinson discusses at length the historical forces that encouraged alliances between African Americans and the predominately white American Communist Party. He also takes an indepth look at why, and how…
