Originally published in 1990 and later reissued in Canto Classics with a new preface, the book studies how Chicago industrial workers moved from fragmented ethnic and neighborhood identities toward broader labor solidarity and New Deal-era political participation. Cohen focuses on the years between World War I and the late Depression, using Chicago as a case study to explain how ordinary workers became CIO unionists and New Deal Democrats. The book is not a narrow institutional history of unions; instead, it examines everyday life, consumer habits, community institutions, and political change together. Its central purpose is to show that industrial unionization and political realignment were shaped not only by strikes and leaders, but also by the changing social world of working-class neighborhoods, mass culture, and the collapse of older urban institutions during the Depression.
