Labor historian Toni Gilpin will lead a series of four Sunday afternoon discussions about her book The Long Deep Grudge: A Story of Big Capital, Radical Labor, and Class War in the American Heartland. Toni’s book focuses on an exceptionally militant and uniquely radical union – the Farm Equipment Workers – but it also provides a crash course in American labor history. Ranging from the 19th century through the present day, The Long Deep Grudge touches on topics like the rise of industrial capitalism, the anarchist movement and the Haymarket martyrs, the distinctions between craft and industrial unionism, the birth of the CIO and the role played by radicals in it, walkouts and no-strike clauses, the implications of anti-communism within the labor movement, interracial organizing in the post-WWII South, industrial decline and the late 20th century collapse of the labor movement, and more. This will be a great opportunity to engage in deep conversation, with the author and with other DSA members, about a host of labor-related issues. The Long Deep Grudge is now on sale through January 4 for $13 at Haymarket Books, and a study guide for the book can be found under resources on that page. https://actionnetwork.org/events/the-long-deep-grudge
