Jon Shelton illuminates how this tumultuous era helped shatter the liberal-labor coalition and opened the door to the neoliberal challenge at the heart of urban education today. Drawing on a wealth of research ranging from school board meetings to TV news reports, Shelton puts readers in the middle of fraught, intense strikes in Newark, St. Louis, and three other cities where these debates and shifting attitudes played out. He also demonstrates how the labor actions contributed to the growing public perception of unions as irrelevant or even detrimental to American prosperity. Foes of the labor movement, meanwhile, tapped into cultural and economic fears to undermine not just teacher unionism but the whole of liberalism"-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a "This project explores the teacher strikes of the late 1960s and 1970s, arguing that the strikes reflect the tensions of a liberal vision that could no longer afford to sustain the promise of economic opportunity. The manner in which the state provides education to its citizens has been a major political battleground for much of American history given that education is a fundamental facet of everyday life as well as the single-most expensive expenditure of local governments. Teacher strikes, therefore, directly affect the public in ways that no other workers strike could. Using media sources such as television news, print reportage, editorials and letters to the editor, and school board meetings, Shelton puts close examinations of strikes in Newark, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, and St. Louis in dialogue with the national trajectory of neoliberal conservatism in this period, demonstrating how the strikes and the discourses they provoked contributed to the growing public perception that unions were at best irrelevant and at worst detrimental to American prosperity. He also examines the ways that foes of the labor movement increasingly tapped into cultural and economic anxieties of that tumultuous decade to undermine teacher unionism, in particular, and liberal and pro-union policies, more generally"-- $c Provided by publisher. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a Strikes and lockouts $x History $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Teachers' unions $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Public schools $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Collective bargaining $x Teachers $z United States. 650 0 $a Labor movement $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a EDUCATION / History. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Labor & Industrial Relations. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / United States / 20th Century. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Collective bargaining $x Teachers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00867334 650 7 $a Labor movement $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00990079 650 7 $a Politics and government $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Public schools $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01082942 650 7 $a Strikes and lockouts $x Teachers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01135253 650 7 $a Teachers' unions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01144535 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 20th century 651 7 $a United States $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Shelton, Jon, 1978- author. $t Teacher strike! $b Second edition. $d Urbana : University of Illinois Press, 2017 $z 9780252099373 $w (DLC) 2017000896 830 0 $a Working class in American history. 941 $a 3 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180502011822.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20180309010136.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20170701010107.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8ED388D85E2211E78DAED5EDDAD10320 994 $a Z0 $b HL6Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
