50 Years of Doing History from Below

Posted by Jamie Cantoni

First in the Humanities Truck Lecture Series. Jeremy Brecher is asked to share his experiences during 50 years of researching, studying, and writing about labor history, activism, and the working population.

You and I may not know each other, but I suspect there are some problems that we share -- problems like climate change, war, and injustice. For half a century I have been participating in and writing about social movements that address those problems. The purpose of this website is to share what I've learned. I hope it provides something of use to you in addressing our common problems.

For the record, I am the author of more than a dozen books on labor and social movements. I have written and/or produced more than twenty video documentaries. I have participated in movements for nuclear disarmament, civil rights, peace in Vietnam, international labor rights, global economic justice, accountability for war crimes, climate protection, and many others.
