SSHA Chicago 2013 panel on militant unionism and/or radical political movements
Paul Taillon and I are pulling together a new session for the 2013 meeting of the Social Science History Association in Chicago, 21-24 November. In line with the conference's theme of "Organizing Powers" we have in mind a panel would look at the theme of workers, insurgency, and the ways in which the state can at times open up conditions for insurgency but also contain and control it. We are particularly interested in work that highlights the role of militant unionism and/or radical political movements.
