Working Class New York
This history explores the vibrant working-class communities that shaped postwar New York and their subsequent decline. From accessible public transit to affordable housing, the city once offered a vision of equitable urban life, largely built by its laborers and unions. Delving into the impacts of anticommunist purges and fiscal crises, the book chronicles the erosion of these progressive ideals and the shifting power dynamics that redefined the city. It's a compelling read for anyone interested in urban history, labor movements, and the rise and fall of ambitious social experiments.
