BIBLIOGRAPHY
In this book Professor Tutino studies the political economy, labour, social and ethnic relations, religious life, and cultural conflicts in the Bajío and Spanish North America from 1500 to 1800, also considering the role of the Americas in early world trade, the rise of capitalism, and the conflicts that reconfigured global power around 1800. [Politics and Society in Twentieth-Century America.] Princeton University Press, Princeton [etc.] 2011. x, 333 pp. Since World War II the American \"H2\" guest-worker programme has brought hundreds of thousands of mostly Jamaican men to the United States to work for powerful agricultural corporations. In this book about early Depression-era politics in the African-American south side community of Chicago, Professor Reed explores the impact of the economic crisis on home life, institutions, and organizations, the ineffectiveness of conventional politics, street demonstrations, the protests organized by the NAACP and the Communist Party, the campaigns against civil rights violations and - notwithstanding the Depression - the cultural vitality of the \"Black Metropolis\". Analysing the influence of class, gender, and ethnicity on the ideological arguments, institutional structures, and reform strategies, Professor Zonderman investigates in this book what motivated working-class activists and middle-class reformers to build cross-class labour reform alliances, which internal tactical debates and external political pressures caused the groups to break down, and how these influences changed over time.
