Boldly revises previous scholarship regarding Chicago's labour movement in the World War I era. The book examines the failures of the Chicago Federation of Labor to build a progressive, interracial organisation. Following failed strikes and a tumultuous time, the Chicago Race Riot of 1919 shattered the CFL's tenuous interracial alliance.
