Reviews
Meticulously researched and well written, Reform or Repression tells a series of dramatic, linked stories of open shop campaigns. The book is part of a growing trend of labor historians studying management, though there is no other book quite like it., "This rich, analytical study offers a vivid picture of the nature and spirit of employer-activists."--Thomas A.

By examining its relationship to liberal and progressive politics, he has revealed some of the inherent contradictions in those political philosophies and the struggle of working people to organize for their wages and working conditions."--Ron Jacobs, Counterpunch, "Pearson's book is without a doubt among the best labor histories to be published in recent years. In keeping with the modern trend in labor history, this is not a labor history in the "traditional" sense of the term.

The book is part of a growing trend of labor historians studying management, though there is no other book quite like it."--David Roediger, author of The Wages of Whiteness: Race and the Making of the American Working Class, "With a careful historian's eye for detail, Pearson charts the course of American business in its effort to contain and control the appeal of unionism to American workers. In doing so, he sheds light on the consciousness of businessmen and their associations and demonstrates that they were confronted by a strategic choice: whether to coopt or repress the American labor movement . . . This book makes an impressive contribution to understanding the diverse roots of the open shop movement. By focusing on employers' agency, the author has helped us see the crucial role of ideology in reproducing capitalist hegemony."-- Socialism and Democracy, "Pearson's book is without a doubt among the best labor histories to be published in recent years.

His work is Labor History in the broadest and finest sense, the history of the development of American capitalist society."--Gerald Friedman, EH.Net, Pearson's book is without a doubt among the best labor histories to be published in recent years.
