Union Booms and Busts: The Ongoing Fight over the U.S. Labor Movement
Independent Unions: The Allure of a Failing Strategy
Riot, Strike, Riot: The New Era of Uprisings
Despite a strike wave in 2017 and 2018, the total number of strikes have declined precipitously since 1980. Many of my students have never seen a strike with their own eyes. At the same time, economic inequality has skyrocketed and led people to take to the streets. The Black Lives Matter movement has also contributed to a new street culture of protest. More than anywhere else, Portland, Oregon, has seen sustained, multifaceted protests in which …
The Making of the Populist Movement: State, Market, and Party on the Western Frontier
Adam Slez is a historical sociologist interested in the phenomenon of populism. Framing his study of South Dakota populism through the election of Donald J. Trump in 2016 and the rise of populist political movements in American history, he has added to the scholarship. Historians should take his work seriously. Arguing that “the rise of electoral Populism in the American West was an outgrowth of the transformation of physical space resulting from…

Carbon County USA: Miners for Democracy in Utah and the West. By Christian Wright
Latin America and the Radical Left: Reconsidering Transnational Solidarity
White Nationalism, the Working Class, and Organized Labor
The Organic Profit: Rodale and the Making of Marketplace Environmentalism
Despite the growth of environmental history, first-rate studies of environmental capitalism remain relatively few. Andrew N. Case provides a significant addition to this literature. In 1942 Jerome Rodale (born Jerome Cohen into a religious New York Jewish family in 1913) founded the magazine Organic Farming and Gardening. This early entry into the nascent organic agriculture movement also launched a still-prominent publishing empire connecting co…

Of Forests and Fields: Mexican Labor in the Pacific Northwest by Mario Jimenez Sifuentez
Of Fields and Forests is an excellent work detailing the history of Mexican agricultural labor in the Pacific Northwest. The son of a Tejano father and Mexican immigrant mother who both migrated to work in the Oregon fields, Mario Jimenez Sifuentez brings great passion to this deeply personal and highly valuable study that effectively uses a variety of sources, including oral histories, to paint an in-depth picture of an often forgotten labor for…

Well put together and filled with outstanding photographs, historical essays, films, PowerPoint presentations, and oral histories, this site is an inv…
Empire of Timber: Labor Unions and the Pacific Northwest Forests
When Loggers Were Green: Lumber, Labor, and Conservation, 1937-1948
From 1937 to 1948, the International Woodworkers of America challenged the timber industry's forestry practices, attempting to reshape the Northwest's timber industry to work for the sustainability of logging communities and the forest instead of corporate profits. Their activities demonstrate the long history of unions pressing for the environmental agenda of their members.
The Global Water Crisis
This piece reviews four recent films - three documentaries and a feature film - that focus on issues of water privatization. Western governments and the World Bank have pressed water privatization on nations in the developing world, often to the detriment of residents. Companies have provided poor service at high prices and have created social conflict in communities between those whose do and do not have access to clean water. The films focus he…
