I’m looking forward to getting my hands on the newly published A David Montgomery Reader. Montgomery was a towering figure in labor history and the history of capitalism. This volume brings together many of his essays in such a way that a reader can trace his evolving interests and interpretations from the 1960s to the 2000s. The topics and debates with which Montgomery engaged also show broader trends of historical scholarship.
Shelton Stromquist and James R. Barrett, two of Montgomery’s students, curated the collection and offer a biographical sketch and framing introductory essay. Their interview posted on the Labor Online blog is worth checking out.
