Book excerpt: "Neil Larry Shumsky's examination of the July 1877 San Francisco riots and the subsequent development of the Workingmen's Party of California brings together two previously unlinked phenomena--the crowd and the political party." "In Europe, the crowd had long been used as a form of protest by people without access to more formal political processes and institutions. But in San Francisco in 1877, European immigrants, incensed by what they perceived as a government/business conspiracy to deny them opportunity by employing Chinese immigrants at much lower wages, found that forming a crowd and rioting led not to recognition and negotiation but to the use of overwhelming force to crush them. City officials and civic leaders demanded that the rioters use party politics, not the mob, to vent their anger and dissatisfaction; these officials believed that the recent development of democratic political ideologies now gave everyone access to formal political institutions. Crowd behavior and the personal and property damage it resulted in was no longer necessary and would not be tolerated." "The rioters, however, did not know how to use party politics. To learn, they begin to join the Workingmen's Party of California, which, Shumsky demonstrates, possessed the characteristics of a crowd while employing the tactics of a party. The WPC served as a transitional stage, teaching people how to establish formal organizations and behave institutionally. Overturning previous assertions that the party's anti-Chinese position provided the major lure for new members, Shumsky shows that many other budding parties, political organizing, the use of petitions, and the use of the vote drew the Europeans. In the end, they learned to use democratic institutions to replace crowd violence."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no better time than now to consider the labor history of the Golden State. While other states face declining union enrollment rates and the rollback of workersÕ rights, California unions are embracing working immigrants, and voters are protecting core worker rights. WhatÕs the difference? California has held an exceptional place in the imagination of Americans and immigrants since the Gold Rush, which saw the first of many waves of working people moving to the state to find work. From Mission to Microchip unearths the hidden stories of these people throughout CaliforniaÕs history. The difficult task of the stateÕs labor movement has been to overcome perceived barriers such as race, national origin, and language to unite newcomers and natives in their shared interest. As chronicled in this comprehensive history, workers have creatively used collective bargaining, politics, strikes, and varied organizing strategies to find common ground among CaliforniaÕs diverse communities and achieve a measure of economic fairness and social justice. This is an indispensible book for students and scholars of labor history and history of the West, as well as labor activists and organizers.Ê

Book excerpt: Winner, Silver Medal, California Book Awards—Commonwealth Club of California With a foreword by William DeverellThe Indispensable Enemy examines the anti-Chinese confrontation on the Pacific Coast as it was experienced and rationalized by the white majority. Focusing on the Democratic party and the labor movement of California through the forty-year period after the Civil War, Alexander Saxton explores aspects of the Jacksonian background which proves crucial to an understanding of what occurred in California. The Indispensable Enemy looks beyond the turn of the 19th century to trace results of the sequence of events in the West for the labor movement as a whole, influencing events that led to the crystallization of an American concept of national identity.
