Susan E. Hirsch. After the Strike: A Century of Labor Struggle at Pullman. (The Working Class in American History.) Urbana and Chicago: University of Illinois Press. 2003. Pp. x, 292. $44.95.

For most historians, Pullman "after the strike" represents a great black hole. Beyond the heroic struggle of African-American porters to unionize, what possible interest could the story of George M. Pullman's company and its employees hold after the titanic strike of 1894? Susan E. Hirsch does not underestimate the significance of the great strike, but she convincingly argues for the importance of "the century of labor struggle" that followed. In so doing, she adds not just an interesting chapter to the history of a uniquely fascinating corporation and the efforts of its workers to organize; she uses the case of Pullman to remap the history of U.S. labor relations in the twentieth century. Hirsch successfully argues that race and gender form the essential axes for understanding a company whose work force for most of its history was predominantly white and male.
