Rethinking the American Labor Movement tells the story of the various groups and incidents that make up what we think of as the 'labor movement,' and shows that these efforts are political in nature and form a social movement that has shaped the trajectory of American life.

Drawing upon a century of innovative scholarship, Elizabeth Faue provides a new synthesis of the U.S. working class. This incisive history not only reveals how a variety of neglected constituents challenged the narrow white supremacist, sexist, trade unionist, and private sector construction of the working class, but also gradually broadened the base of the labor movement itself. While a variety of global, national, and local forces, including labor's own legacy of blindspots and missed opportunities, stymied the growth of a more diverse and inclusive labor movement by the late 20th century, Faue nonetheless sees hope for the "rebirth" of the labor movement in the recent Fightfor$15, the Occupy Movement, LBGT Rights, and the Black Lives Matter Movement.

"In this stunning synthesis, Faue explores the success, and ultimate failure of the twentieth century U.S. labor movement to acquire continuing political power and economic clout. She tells us how, in the face of, depression and war, unions struggled with issues of race, gender, class; and overcame internal divisions to narrow the equality gap. But she also pinpoints the global trends that led to corporate and government hostility at the end of the century. Hers is an optimistic projection: through new coalitions and grassroots political innovation, Faue suggests, the labor movement continues to offer a hopeful path to a democratic future."
