ILHA Book of the Year Award 2012 to _The Production of Difference_ by David R. Roediger and Elizabeth D. Esch

The International Labor History Association (ILHA) is pleased to announce the ILHA Book of the Year Award for 2012. The volume, The Production of Difference, published by Oxford University Press (2012), is by David R. Roediger and Elizabeth D. Esch. Covering the period 1830-1930 while offering a series of case studies, the book examines race management, with a transnational trajectory. Roediger and Esch locate a key fulcrum implemented by U.S. managers of labor, including slave owners, to enhance profits and undermine labor solidarity at home and abroad.

Organizing the Dirty Work: Workplace Inequality, Civil Rights, and the Politics of Occupational Health and Safety

Colleagues:

I currently am organizing a panel for the labor network for the Social Science History meeting in Chicago, November 21-24. Following on the conferences theme, Organizing Powers, we are looking for papers that would fit under the topic:

Organizing the Dirty Work: Workplace Inequality, Civil Rights, and the Politics of Occupational Health and Safety.

We have two papers so far, one on African American workers at the Rouge and one on women and the UAW efforts prior to Johnson Controls.
