Invaluable perspectives compiled dutifully by Studs. Read a few that interest you, then read a few more, and a few more. update: I only vaguely remember picking this book up before, but it seems fitting to revisit from time to time--this time I made it through more than half of the book. Though it was published in 1974, the two interviews with policemen (one white, one black) and some of the other interviews take on new significance in light of current racial issues and Black Lives Matter. Started Labor Day weekend, and finished three months later. That isn't an indictment of the book, but that it is the perfect work to read in fits and starts. Stolen moments, say from working... An oral history of work in 1970 or so USA. The world I was born into. Everyone has something to say, no one ever does anything about it as the old joke goes. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

But still these interviews are lopsided in a way. Nasty as it may sound I still want to hear from those, whom these workers despise or simply don't understand. It would be a revealing read too - to see the motives of a careerists, sweatshop foremen, managers in malls and cafeterias etc...
They may sound shallow and disgusting, but they still need to be heard. We need a broader picture.
