The Rumble in the Jungle
In 1974 the world watched two symbols of African American masculinity battle for supremacy in the nation of Zaire. “The Rumble in the Jungle,” as promoters pithily phrased it, gathered millions of viewers across over one hundred countries, along with the many thousands in attendance at Mai Stadium. In Lewis A. Erenberg's hands, this incredible contest receives the scholarly attention it deserves. Outside of boxing fans or Muhammad Ali aficionados…
Labor under Fire
Modern labor historians often ponder why American unions have declined so precipitously in the last four decades. Answers vary from organized labor's inadequacies to the political strength of capitalists to the inexorable forces of globalization. In Labor under Fire Timothy J. Minchin steers a course between these, arguing that hostile policies, deindustrialization, and labor in-fighting and lethargy all played roles in crushing the house of labo…
Meg Frisbee. Counterpunch
In Counterpunch: The Cultural Battles over Heavyweight Prizefighting in the American West, Meg Frisbee adds to the growing number of books that integrate boxing history into mainstream academic realms. Keeping an analytical eye on categories of geographic space, politics, gender, race, and culture, Frisbee gives us a fresh narrative about the meaning and uses of heavyweight prizefighting in the Progressive Era. Boxing has long been sidelined by a…

A Nation of Deadbeats
Easy credit supplied by overleveraged lenders, complex financial instruments, a mortgage bonanza, unregulated banks, rising land values, and growing uncertainty—all followed by a cataclysmic bust—is not the story of the 2008 financial crisis but rather the tale of the panic of 1837, in the hands of Scott Reynolds Nelson. A Nation of Deadbeats offers a fresh interpretation of America's past panics viewed through the stories of speculators, funny-m…
The Persistence of Republicanism
The authors argue that there have been moments in American history when a class analysis entered into popular discourse. What has been “exceptional” about American history is the manner in which that class analysis emerged. When Americans speak the language of “class” and “class warfare,” it is often clothed in the rhetoric of labor republicanism. That is, rather than offering a systemic analysis of capitalist processes, American labor republican…
History Repeats Itself
The American Civil War wrought tremendous changes on the young nation. Coinciding with the rapid evolution of industrial capitalism, the conflict not only influenced the course of economic development but also served as a compelling model of cataclysmic battle used by journalists, politicians, labor activists, and academics to come to terms with the tremendous strike waves of the late 19th century. The notion of two great forces arrayed in battle…
