Recenzii
"Pure and Simple Politics is quite simply the definitive study of AFL politics in the Gompers era. Greene's subtle and compelling narrative portrays a labor politics never completely shorn of its anti-party roots, a beleaguered federation forced to disguise its partisan political influence, and an official political ideology that remains persistently anti-statist, even as its constituency and its adopted Democratic party embrace the progressive state. This work signals new and serious attention by historians to the national political presence of organized labor in the Progressive era." Shelton Stromquist, University of Iowa
"Julie Greene's wonderfully textured portrait of Progressive era politics transforms our understanding of the 'labor question' during the years when that issue stood near the center of American party politics. By skillfully deconstructing the AFL's 'pure and simple' electoral strategy, Greene uncovers a world of hidden strife, unexpected complexity, and lasting consequences. This is a book that every student of American political culture needs to read." Nelson Lichtenstein, University of Virginia
"...readers will find this study valuable as a background for understanding the great CIO drives of the 1930's." Brian O'Donnell, S.J., Michigan Historical Review
"...makes a notable contribution to the collective project of understanding America's peculiar labor politics." Gerald Friedman, The Journal of American History
"Pure and Simple Politics defies recent historical research that look for a single cause for the AFL's political strategies. Greene's depth of research enables her to incorporate a multitude of the factors, both internal and external, that shaped labor's inability to exert the sort of influence that many scholars would have preferred. Anyone interested in obtaining a more complete picture of labor's participation in Progressive Era politics would do well to begin here." Labor Studies Journal
