Book Review

On Strike and on Film: Mexican American Families and Blacklisted Filmmakers in Cold War America. By Ellen R. Baker. (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2007. xvi, 349 pp. Cloth, $59.95, ISBN 978-0-8078-3083-3. Paper, $22.50, ISBN 978-0-8078-5791-5.)

Ellen R. Baker's On Strike and on Film is a study of the contentious strike of Local 890 of the International Union of Mine, Mill, and Smelter Workers (or Mine-Mill) at the Empire Zinc Company in Grant County, New Mexico, in 1950, and Salt of the Earth (1954), the subsequently "banned" film that made the strike famous. The book reflects her research into published sources, but she also interviewed a number of the key participants and used numerous archives, government records, and unpublished materials. Only James J. Lorence's The Suppression of Salt of the Earth (1999) matches her thoroughness.
