Global Labor Migration
Around the world, hundreds of millions of labor migrants endure
exploitation, lack of basic rights, and institutionalized
discrimination and marginalization. What dynamics and drivers have
created a world in which such a huge--and rapidly growing--group
toils as marginalized men and women, existing as a lower caste
institutionally and juridically? In what ways did labor migrants
shape their living and working conditions in the past, and what
opportunities exist for them today?
Global Labor Migration presents new multidisciplinary,
transregional perspectives on issues surrounding global labor
migration. The essays go beyond disciplinary boundaries, with
sociologists, ethnographers, legal scholars, and historians
contributing research that extends comparison among and within
world regions. Looking at migrant workers from the late nineteenth
century to the present day, the contributors illustrate the need
for broader perspectives that study labor migration over longer
timeframes and from wider geographic areas. The result is a unique,
much-needed collection that delves into one of the world's most
pressing issues, generates scholarly dialogue, and proposes
cutting-edge research agendas and methods.

Pure and Simple Politics
Scholarship on American labor politics has been dominated by the view that the American Federation of Labor, the dominant labor organization, rejected political action in favor of economic strategies. Based upon extensive research into labor and political party records, this study demonstrates that, despite the common belief, the AFL devoted great attention to political activity. The organization's main strategy, however, which Julie Greene terms 'pure and simple politics', dictated that trade unionists alone should shape American labor politics. Exploring the period from 1881 to 1917, Pure and Simple Politics focuses on the quandaries this approach generated for American trade unionists. Politics for AFL members became a highly contested terrain, as leaders attempted to implement a strategy which many rank-and-file workers rejected. Furthermore, its drive to achieve political efficacy increasingly exposed the AFL to forces beyond its control, as party politicians and other individuals began seeking to influence labor's political strategy and tactics.
