The New Labor History in American History Textbooks.

Cobble, Dorothy Sue; Kessler-Harris, Alice

Journal of American History, v79 n4 p1534-45 Mar 1993

Reports labor history coverage in seven college-level introductory history courses. Finds that all incorporated some material about unions and offered an interpretation of their effectiveness. Also finds the absence of gender and race as shaping forces in labor history to be the most neglected topic. (CFR)
