Labor History, the flagship journal of historical labor studies, takes great pride in announcing the winners of its Best Articles in Labor History, 2004 competition. These are the first winners of what will be annual prizes to promote excellence in labor scholarship. Further competitions - and details of how to apply -- will be announced later in the year.
To decide the winners of the Articles competition, the Labor History editorial board voted for the best work published in the journal in each of three categories: "Best Article, U.S. Topic," "Best Article, Non-U.S. or Comparative Topic," and "Best Article by a Scholar within Five Years of Completing their Doctorate."
The winners of the Best Articles in Labor History, 2004 are:
1. Best Article, US Topic

Congratulations to each winner for their superior contributions to the field. Their articles reflect the journal's ecumenical approach to labor studies and its commitment to geographical and chronological breadth; they have also supported the journal's mission to publish a wide range of perspectives, binding together a large but fragmented area of study. Each winner will receive a check for £250 / $500, a sum drawn from the journal's Royalty Fund, as well as a free subscription to the journal.
