Bread and Roses: Mills, Migrants, and the Struggle for the American Dream Tapa blanda - 2006
de Bruce Watson
A rousing history with the narrative drive of a novel, this is the true-to-life tale of the 1912 textile strike in Lawrence, Massachusetts, that became the fabric of a community and an inspiration to workers around the world. High school & older.
Resumen
On January 12, 1912, an army of textile workers stormed out of the mills in Lawrence, Massachusetts, commencing what has since become known as the "Bread and Roses" strike. Based on newspaper accounts, magazine reportage, and oral histories, Watson reconstructs a Dickensian drama involving thousands of parading strikers from fifty-one nations, unforgettable acts of cruelty, and even a protracted murder trial that tested the boundaries of free speech. A rousing look at a seminal and overlooked chapter of the past, Bread and Roses is indispensable reading.
