Left Out - Stepan-Norris, Judith (University of California, Irvine) a Zeitlin, Maurice (University of California, Los Angeles)

This book, first published in 2002, analyzes the role and legacy of the Communists in the American labor activism during the 1930s through the 1950s. The authors find that Communists were more egalitarian, the most progressive on class, race and gender issues, and leading fighters in struggles to enhance the human dignity of America's workers.
