The anthology features writers, scholars, and organizers including Michael Harrington, Irving Howe, and Ruth Milkman, along with an introduction by the anthology’s editors, labor historians Nelson Lichtenstein and Samir Sonti, as well as two new essays by Alex Press and Veena Dubal, and a roundtable discussion with Sara Nelson, Luis Feliz Leon, and Daisy Pitkin.

Labor’s Partisans chronicles the American labor movement from its historic height in the 1950s through its travails in the 1980s and its resurgent militancy in recent years. Featuring rich history and keen insight, Labor’s Partisans is essential reading for both longtime Dissent readers and young socialists and labor organizers alike.
