A Rope of Sand: The AFL-CIO Committee on Political Education, 1955-1967 de Alan Draper

A Rope of Sand: The AFL-CIO Committee on Political Education, 1955-1967

Autor Alan Draper
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 oct 1988

The first book-length, scholarly treatment of the subject, this volume examines the AFL-CIO's Committee on Political Education (COPE) from its origins in 1955 to the stunning defeat of COPE-endorsed candidates in the 1966 Congressional elections. In an attempt to determine whether the AFL-CIO is a surrogate for the social democratic party that the American party system lacks, Draper analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of labor's alliance with the Democratic party and the degree to which COPE was successful in mobilizing a coalition of workers and minorities to pursue social democratic goals.
