These nine essays by a prominent scholar in American labor history selfconsciously evoke the tensions between the worker as historical subject and the historian as outside observer. Encompassing studies of labor culture, strategy, and movement building from the late nineteenth century to the present, In Search of the Working Class also connects the trials of the early labor economists to the conceptual challenges facing today's academic practitioners.'Fink places American labor history in the broader context of American political historiography better than any other historian I can think of.' James R. Barrett, author of Work and Community in the Jungle: Chicago's Packinghouse Workers, 18941922
