The working class in American history ; 288
Content:
It is a bedrock American belief: the 1950s were a golden age of prosperity for autoworkers. Flush with high wages and enjoying the benefits of generous union contracts, these workers became the backbone of a thriving blue-collar middle class. It is also a myth. Daniel J. Clark began by interviewing dozens of former autoworkers in the Detroit area and found a different story - one of economic insecurity caused by frequent layoffs, unrealised contract provisions, and indispensable second jobs. 'Disruption in Detroit' is a vivid portrait of workers and an industry that experienced anything but stable prosperity.
