HIST 054 PZ -U.S. Labor History Institution: Pitzer
Description: Beginning with enshrining enslavement in the U.S. constitution, debates over labor have been central to the cultural, social, and political evolution of the United States. In this course, students will analyze the development of U.S. labor politics, considering how workers bound themselves together to confront labor exploitation, including in the plantation system, the industrial sector, domestic work, and the service economy of the turn of the twenty-first century. Likewise, this course examines the role of labor activists in parallel social movements, including abolitionism, agrarian populism, and the Black Freedom Struggle.
Prerequisite(s): See the current course schedule for registration restrictions.
