THE HISTORY AND legacy of the U.S. left in labor’s 1930s upsurge, and its lessons for today, are subjects of huge bodies of research and debate. The following contributions, from varying perspectives, are among those appearing in Against the Current over many years, and can be found in the back issues at our website.
An extensive interview with Michael Goldfield, author of the recently published The Southern Key. Class, Race and Radicalism in the 1930s and 1940s, was conducted by Cory R. Melcher in ATC 211. The book is reviewed by Alex Lichtenstein in ATC 210.
Goldfield’s earlier work The Color of Politics was reviewed by Mel Rothenberg in ATC 75, and discussed by Rothenberg and Goldfield in ATC 78.
