<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>This book combines the tools of political science, sociology, and labor history to offer a wide-ranging analysis of how unions have participated in politics in Britain, Germany, and the United States. Rather than focus exclusively on national union federations, Gary Marks investigates variations among individual unions both within and across these countries. By examining the individual unions that make up union movements, he probes beyond national descriptions of British laborism, German socialism, and American business unionism while bringing the analysis closer to the actual experiences of people who joined labor organizations. <p/>Among the topics Marks examines are state repression of unions, the Organizational Revolution, the contrasting experiences of printing and coalmining unions, and American Exceptionalism. <p/>Originally published in 1989. <p/>The <b>Princeton Legacy Library</b> uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>"A rich study of union political activity that allows us to think through the influence of differing compositions of the labor force on national patterns of labor militancy."<b>--Charles Tilly, The New School for Social Research</b></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A rich study of union political activity that allows us to think through the influence of differing compositions of the labor force on national patterns of labor militancy."<b>--Charles Tilly, The New School for Social Research</b><br>
