Labor's Mind uses diaries and personal correspondence, labor college records, and a range of print and visual media to recover this social history of the working-class mind. As Higbie shows, networks of working-class learners and their middle-class allies formed nothing less than a shadow labor movement. Dispersed across the industrial landscape, this movement helped bridge conflicts within radical and progressive politics even as it trained workers for the transformative new unionism of the 1930s.Revelatory and sympathetic, Labor's Mind reclaims a forgotten chapter in working-class intellectual life while mapping present-day possibilities for labor, higher education, and digitally enabled self-study.About the AuthorAbout the AuthorTobias Higbie is a professor of history at UCLA. He is the author of Indispensable Outcasts: Hobo Workers and Community in the American Midwest, 1880-1930.ReviewsReviews"Recommended." --Choice


"Labor's Mind cogently demonstrates how democratic education plays a key role in improving the daily and future lives of working people." --H-Net Review


"Higbie's book helps us understand people like Williams, Mills, and Keylor. They--and the men and women featured in his book--belong to a long and continuing tradition among working-class people. Such folks fascinate me and, if you read this book, they will come to fascinate you as well." --Society for US Intellectual History


"Higbie productively tackles the ambiguity of class position. Labor is of many minds, and with Higbie's helpful start, scholars must now move on to examine the character of the labor mind in its diverse and changing formations." --International Review of Social History


"A major contribution to the history of American working people's thought and movement-building in the modern era. Brophy would be pleased." --Journal of American History


"Labor's Mind serves to remind us of the rich and neglected intellectual life of the American working class." --Journal of American Culture


"Labor's Mind places working people's ideas and intellect--not just their quotidian lives and labor--at the center of historical study. Higbie has given us a rich portrait of working men and women thinking as the United States emerged as a global industrial power, a portrait they richly deserve." --North Carolina Historical Review


"Tobias Higbie's Labor's Mind: A History of Working-Class Intellectual Life is a slim volume with an expansive reach. . . . It suggests that education, formal or informal, can spark radical social change. . . . Higbie's book is profoundly optimistic, if subtly so." --American Historical ReviewBlurbs"Higbie makes the point that, contrary to widespread prejudices about working class intelligence, laborers were not blank slates. They often brought an enthusiasm, a determination to rise above injurious labels, and a sense of adventure. A valuable addition to a still under-researched topic."--Laura Hapke, author of Labor's Canvas: American Working-Class History and the WPA Art of the 1930sSupplemental LinksSupplemental LinksLabor's Mind in Dissent Magazine Book Details Pages: 234 pages Dimensions: 6 x 9 in Illustrations: 19 black & white photographs EducationHistory, Am.: 20th C.Labor Studies Related Titles google.books.load();function initialize() { var viewer = new google.books.DefaultViewer(document.getElementById('viewerCanvas')); var canvas = document.querySelector('.viewer-bg'); var previewBtn = document.getElementById('preview-button') previewBtn.addEventListener('click', ()=>{ canvas.classList.add('active') //alert(res); //viewer.load('ISBN:'+res, alertNotFound); //var viewer = new google.books.DefaultViewer(document.getElementById('viewerCanvas')); var a = Array('ISBN:9780252042263','ISBN:9780252084027','ISBN:9780252051098'); viewer.load(a, alertNotFound); }) var closeBtn = document.querySelector('.close-viewer'); closeBtn.addEventListener('click', ()=> { canvas.classList.remove('active') })}function alertNotFound(){ var canvas = document.querySelector('.viewer-bg'); var error = document.createElement('h2'); error.innerText = 'No Preview Available For This Title.'; error.style.color = 'white'; error.style.textAlign = 'center'; canvas.appendChild(error)}google.books.setOnLoadCallback(initialize); X function OptanonWrapper() { } Stay Connected Join Our Mailing List  Copyright 2024

Yes, this will be the 4th student I'm using it for. It's not perfect, but it's the best option I've found so far for us. I tweak it heavily and don't really use it as intended. We do Book 1 in Grade 9 and then for Grade 10, I use about half of Book 2, and then switch to The Mystery of History 4 because it has so much more detail about the World Wars and modern events. I substitute a lot of the literature, I add map work, and we pretty much ignore the projects and writing suggestions. The thing I like the most is the perspective and worldview it's written with, which I why I use it. My kids don't find it super exciting, but that might be because they aren't really history-lovers, whereas I find it interesting to read. I'm not sure if that helps at all since I don't use it as intended, but if you have any other questions, I'll attempt an answer.

Our first 9th grade year is comming up for my oldest daughter (15) & son (14). I've been lurking a long time & reading this forum particularly the last several months, finding it invaluable. So I though I better join in as we start this next, some what intimidating, chapter.

History - the first of a 4 year history cycle - using a mix of Great Courses and K12 texts and iCitizen all coordinated together - on M-Th she'll either watch and take notes and answer guide book questions or read and add to a timeline notebook, depending on which resource we're currently using - on F she'll write a summary of the week's information

(**Is it okay for his 9th grade year to have just 4 core-subject credits, and get the remaining credits through electives? Our initial plan had him taking Spanish I as a Freshman, but it appears we may have an international move that will likely disrupt the first part of our school year. With that added stress and adjustment, I'm thinking it might be better to wait until 10th grade to begin the Spanish sequence.)

For all practical purposes we are homeschoolers, although my son is enrolled in a public school that verifies work and issues a transcript. This year and next year are sort of an 8/9 combination since we work year-round and his school allows credit for some courses taken in 8th. He is finishing up English 1 and Algebra, so he will have those put on his high school transcript this fall when 9th grade begins. He is staggering his other classes with some starting already. By the end of the school year, he should have credits for the following:

History of the Middle East - this started out as a history of Persia, but I may broaden the geographic range. I'm still curating books and thinking through output. My tentative plan is discussions on the readings (weekly or biweekly), 1 paper / semester, 1 project / semester. Is that too little?

Finally making some planning progress for rising 9th grade DS. DS14 is not a terribly enthusiastic student and homeschooling him can be ....challenging, but at some point he will outgrow all of this nonsense, right? Right? (Please don't tell me if I'm wrong.)

Science: Biology. We'll use Oak Meadow's high school bio program, which in turn uses Holt biology. 11th grade DS will be doing AP bio and 6th grade DS will also do OM Life Science, so we should have some nice household biology synergy. We did this before with AP Physics/OM Physical Science and it worked very well.

May tag along with older brother for some things if he has time. Since it takes us 3.5 hours to do Latin, Maths and English plus one chore and 30 minutes exercise so we really only have time for computing and reading in the afternoon. We skip maths and Latin once a week to fit in history or science so we probably won't have time.

'Tis the season for blockbuster books on nineteenth-century American history, including the present text, Michael O'Brien's weighty two-volume Conjectures of Order (2004), and Sean Wilentz's celebration of The Rise of American Democracy (2005). While I have made my way through some of O'Brien and Wilentz, I have not yet had time to get through them completely, primarily because my own attention has been preoccupied with The Mind of the Master Class. This is itself a densely detailed work, but positively svelte compared to the two door-stopping tomes just mentioned, weighing in at a mere 718 pages of text.

In terms of reviewing the text itself, I am conflicted. On the one hand, who will argue the value of having such a massively researched, mature, and imposingly erudite work as this one? Everyone reading this review on H-South will be familiar with the incomparable contributions of Genovese and Fox-Genovese to the history of slavery and the South, so much so that recounting their pathbreaking contributions to the historiography seems superfluous. Moreover, the endorsements plastering the back cover (from historians whose collective eminence makes me feel rather pipsqueakish by comparison), certainly give the authors an all-star posse.

Moreover, Southerners understood that capitalism and economic expansion fueled the rise of the South as a staple-crop empire, even as they acknowledged that the increasingly powerful theories of free labor would eventually undermine the slave system necessary for Southern social order and economic prosperity. Southerners, then, were products of the world of liberalism and capitalist individualism, even as, with increasing desperation, they clung to the foundation of corporate structures (especially the patriarchal family) and rural independence. The authors explain: "The history of the last three centuries posed for nineteenth-century slaveholders, as for other Christian traditionalists and political conservatives, the daunting question of how to tame what was beginning to look like a permanent revolution" (p. 650). e24fc04721
