| Description: |
Since its publication in 1984, Chants Democratic has endured as a classic narrative on labour and the rise of American democracy. In it, Sean Wilentz explores the dramatic social and intellectual changes that accompanied early industrialization in New York. He provides a panoramic chronicle of New York City's labour strife, social movements, and political turmoil in the eras of Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson. Twenty years after its initial publication,Wilentz has added a new preface that takes stock of his own thinking, then and now, about New York City and the rise of the American working class. |
