Book Review

Working-Class New York: Life and Labor since World War II. By Joshua B. Freeman. (New York: New Press, 2000. xviii, 409 pp. $35.00, ISBN 1-56584-575-7.)

Joshua B. Freeman's Working-Class New York is a welcome and successful addition to a growing body of historical literature on twentieth-century New York City. As the book's title suggests, the focus is on labor and the working class in the postwar metropolis. It documents the shift from a proletarian to a service-based, global city within the last five or six decades. It is a highly readable work of interpretative synthesis based on the consultation of an impressive array of primary sources, newspapers, and secondary literature. . . .
