About this product
Product Information
The American hemisphere is now more tightly interconnected than ever before, with the trend toward greater economic, social and cultural integration apparently certain to continue. In this landmark text, Charles Bergquist offers a fresh interpretation of the historical background to this integration from the unusual perspective of labor. Focusing on slices of US history, and built around critiques of a handful of classic and influential texts, his five essays form not a conventional narrative history but rather a study in the construction of historical meaning, and an invitation to make use of history in the forging of a new, more democratic understanding of politics in the Americas. The book opens with an illustration of how the different labor systems of colonial America best explain the great disparity in development and power between the US and Latin America today. It goes on to link the origins of US imperialism to labor's democratic studies at home, and to explore labor's role in the Latin American social revolutions, before presenting an analysis of popular culture in the Americas in which Donald Duck is revealed as the representative of all workers. Will Donald rewrite the history books and, in our post-Cold War era, realize his democratic potential? Or will he bungle the job and succumb to the postmodern confusions of the capitalists' "New World Order?"

Reviews
"I found this book to be extremely valuable and challenging to anyone who cares to understand the Americas, its labor movement, and its popular culture--though I can not endorse some of what I consider Professor Bergquist's misunderstanding of my own work during the Allende revolution."--Ariel Dorfman "Groundbreaking political and ideological analysis ... an indispensable primer for labor and other activists throughout the hemisphere ready to contest the neo-liberal order we face today."--Carol A. Smith, Professor of Anthropology, University of California, Davis "Lays out a specific series of arguments that have major theoretical and policy implications for those concerned with democratic politics ... original, provocative, and a delight to read."--Harley Shaiken, Professor of Education, University of California, Berkeley "An extraordinary blend of political economy, labor history, and cultural criticism, this compellingly written written study deserves a very wide audience."--Alex Keyssar, Professor of History, Duke University, "I found this book to be extremely valuable and challenging to anyone who cares to understand the Americas, its labor movement, and its popular culture-though I can not endorse some of what I consider Professor Bergquist's misunderstanding of my own work during the Allende revolution."-Ariel Dorfman "Groundbreaking political and ideological analysis ... an indispensable primer for labor and other activists throughout the hemisphere ready to contest the neo-liberal order we face today."-Carol A.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
