There Is Power in a Union
Author: Philip Dray
Publisher: Anchor
ISBN: 0307389766
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 818
Book Description
From the nineteenth-century textile mills of Lowell, Massachusetts, to the triumph of unions in the twentieth century and their waning influence today, the contest between labor and capital for the American bounty has shaped our national experience. In this stirring new history, Philip Dray shows us the vital accomplishments of organized labor and illuminates its central role in our social, political, economic, and cultural evolution. His epic, character-driven narrative not only restores to our collective memory the indelible story of American labor, it also demonstrates the importance of the fight for fairness and economic democracy, and why that effort remains so urgent today.

Beyond the Chandeleurs
Author: David Middleton
Publisher: LSU Press
ISBN: 9780807123782
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 92
Book Description
In Beyond the Chandeleurs, David Middleton completes a long journey home to his native South, his beloved Louisiana, and his Anglican faith. This collection, whose title refers to barrier islands off the Louisiana coast, takes the poet beyond earlier doubts concerning the cosmos and its Creator to a loving trust in Providence often expressed in psalm-like poems that celebrate both the beauty and the rational intelligibility of the natural order of things. The Louisiana poems—set in the Protestant north of the poet’s childhood and in the Roman Catholic south where he now resides—richly evoke the flora, fauna, geography, and history of the state and also honor family members, including Middleton’s father, who is memorialized in “For an Artist with Parkinson’s.” In “The Duck Hunt,” Middleton contrasts the oil rigs off the Louisiana coast—where men desperately seek more oil to keep the modern world going—with the primitive coastland marshes where hunters are taken back momentarily to archaic times (“This open wilderness of grass and mud”). Other poems, such as “The Yeoman Farmers,” “Dinner on the Ground,” and “Oak Alley,” are meditations on the history of the South that reveal Middleton as a late inheritor of the Agrarian tradition. Indeed, “At Franklin” is in direct response to Allen Tate’s famous “Ode to the Confederate Dead,” to letters on that poem between Tate and Donald Davidson, and to Davidson’s own answering poem to Tate, “The Last Charge.” With its extraordinary sense of place, artful storytelling, and wide range of verse forms and language, Beyond the Chandeleurs is a volume to cherish.
