The Paterson Silk Strike of 1913 was a major struggle in the history of American labor. Over 25,000 Italian and Jewish workers shut down Paterson's 300 silk mills and dye houses for almost five months over the issue of workers' control of the rate of production. It was the biggest strike in Paterson's history. Workers overcame their differences in craft, nationality, and gender; and their democratic self-organization became a school in self-management. The workers invited the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) to aid them. The IWW included a stress on the active role of workers in the strike and this revolutionary vision of workers' control reached its fullest expression in the Paterson Strike Pageant performed by the workers themselves in Madison Square Garden. This was a revolutionary innovation in theater and labor struggles which remains an inspiration to labor and the Left.

This book examines the rise and fall of a handful of progressive and leftist third party efforts over the last century, from the 1920s to the present, including the Progressive Party of 1924, the Labor Party Movement of the 1930s, The Progressive Party of 1948, The People's Party of the 1970s, the California Peace and Freedom Party, and the Vermont Progressive Party. It also explores the enduring features of the American political system, including why the two-party system has continued to dominate American politics and elucidates the ideology of Lockian republican-populism, the foundational ideology of American politics.

This book discusses three classic examples of working class literature: "Life in the Iron Mills" by Rebecca Harding Davis, "The New Masses" magazine, and the 1930s protest literature of Clifford Odets. Rebecca Harding Davis wrote "Life in the Iron Mills" in 1861. It was the first work of fiction to describe the lives of the new antebellum working class of industrializing America. It was also an exploration of how class and gender intersected to share a common burden of oppression and hope. "The New Masses" was America's leading leftist literary journal of the 1930s and 1940s. It attempted to legitimize a subject seldom treated in the literature of the time: The common man and the working life. Clifford Odets was a founding member of the radical 1930s theater troupe, the Group Theater and the leading radical playwright of the 1930s. He was also a pioneer writer of the Jewish immigrant experience in America. This book is an overview of these writers and their works and their places in American popular culture.

Our memory of Sixties New Left radicals often evokes marches in the streets, battles with the police, or urban bombings. However, the New Left was a multi-faceted movement, with diverse tendencies. One of these tendencies promoted electoral as the way to change America. In every city that was a center of New Left activism, this "Electoral New Left" entered the political arena. A surprisingly large number of these New Left radicals were elected to office: City Council, Mayor, State Senate, even the U.S. Senate. Once in office, they persisted and prevailed. Cities and places we think of today as eternally liberal--Berkeley, Madison, Ann Arbor, even the state of Vermont--were, deeply conservative and deeply Republican before the triumphs of the local Electoral New Left. These "Radicals in Power," however, brought about a lasting political realignment in their locales, and embodied the vision of a better future that was at the heart of all New Left activism. However, the accomplishments of the Electoral New Left, even its very existence, are almost completely unexplored. Historians of the social and political movements of the Sixties have focused on anti-Vietnam War protest movements, or on the Revolutionary New Left. Radicals in Power corrects that oversight and, in doing so, rewrites the history of the Sixties and the New Left. Based on interviews with the elected New Left radicals in each of their cities, Davin details the birth and evolution of a local and regional progressive politics that has, heretofore, been overlooked.
