![]() | Solidarity and Survival: An Oral History of Iowa Labor in the Twentieth Century In Solidarity and Survival, three generations of Iowa workers tell of their unrelenting efforts to create a labor movement in the coal mines and on the rails, in packinghouses and farm equipment plants, on construction sites and in hospital wards. Drawing on nearly one thousand interviews collected over more than a decade by oral historians working for the Iowa Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO, Shelton Stromquist presents the resonant voices of the men and women who defined a new, prominent place for themselves in the lives of their communities and in the politics of their state. Shelton Stromquist is professor and chair in the Department of History at the University of Iowa; he is the author of Solidarity and Survival: An Oral History of Iowa Labor in the Twentieth Century (Iowa, 1993). |
