  • Marxism, Labor, and the Failed Critique of Religion

    Open AccessAlexander SaxtonARTICLEScience & Society2006Referencias: 5

Such an interpretation, to be credible, would need to be grounded in a materialist account of religion's origins and power.

Yet neither they (nor later Marxists) developed a clear d…

  • In Dubious Battle

    Alexander SaxtonARTICLEPacific Historical Review2004

  • The Paradox of the White Worker

    Noel Ignatiev, Alexander Saxton et al.ARTICLELabour / Le Travail1992

    The new labour history, associated in American with the name of Herbert Gutman, shifted attention away from unions and other institutions toward the daily life of working people. It broke new ground in examining the role of the family, the community, and culture in forming the working class. In treating working people as the subjects of their own activity, the Gutman school broke with the labour historians who preceded it. However, in its attitud…

  • George Wilkes

    Open AccessAlexander SaxtonARTICLEAmerican Quarterly1981

    when George Wilkes was born in 1817. Not many were left by the time he finished elementary school and ran up his own banners, but their aura remained. The aristocracy of old wealth rode high in the Republican city, dominating the Tammany society and local government, and controlling the common schools as if public education were private charity. This was the enemy against which young men of obscure origin like Wilkes naturally made war. From the …
