MISSION STATEMENT Labor History aims to be the pre-eminent site for scholarship in the history of work and its representation, labor systems, social reproduction of labor, social class, occupational culture and folklore, and worker migration as well as the place to go for new research and argument on the history of the labor movement, labor politics, and industrial conflict and regulation. While rooted in studies of the United States, Labor History seeks to contribute to a critical literacy encompassing trans-national and even global historical transformations. To that end we particularly welcome contributions in Canadian and Latin American/Caribbean history. Seeking historical perspective, we invite submissions on the designated themes not only from academic historians but also from other scholars, journalists, labor educators, and writer-activists. Research articles, interpretive essays, and classroom-related materials—such as a document or specific exercise—are equally welcome.
