Had a fantastic conversation with Joan Walsh just before Labor Day. She was really smart, and the conversation was lively. Her unique hybrid of interview and review was wonderful. See it here:
“When Blue-Collar Pride Became Identity Politics.” She said I was "impossibly fair." My daughter says the exact same thing about me.
I stumbled upon this site and was only too happy that you have your own blog. I am self described scholar - although lay scholar - of the 1970s. I have read Schulman and Hine and others and now I am wrestling with your magisterial much needed work. I can't thank you enough for your work and this book! I love your prose style, your attitude, your reading of art and culture, your use of oral histories, and many other things. Congratulations!
