Working people of Holyoke : class and ethnicity in a Massachusetts mill town, 1850-1960, William F. Hartford

Creator
Summary
"Looking at Holyoke, Massachusetts, between 1850 and 1960, William Hartford examines the shift from ethnic consciousness to class consciousness among workers. He focuses on Irish and French Canadian immigrants, who together make up the majority of the work force in Holyoke's paper and textile plants. Class solidarity came to mean more to them than ethnic solidarity, but the path from one to the other was neither rapid nor easy."--
