The Indispensable Enemy: Labor and the Anti-Chinese Movement in California Paperback - 1975
by Alexander Saxton
From the rear cover
"Saxton's bold inquiry into the anti-Chinese ideology and politics of white workers in California demonstrates the power of race to distort political consciousness and subvert labor solidarity. His splendid analysis puzzles out the sources and implications of anti-Chinese hostility during the 19th century, and challenges labor scholars and activists to examine the impact of the trade union movement nationally."--Gwendolyn Mink, author of Old Labor and New Immigrants in American Political Development "An eloquent and meticulous history of race and class which is as exciting today as when it first appeared."--David Roediger, Professor of History, University of Minnesota "Saxton's path-breaking study continues to underscore the significant of race in the American politics and culture--a timely critical perspective for the 21st century."--Ronald Takaki, author of A Different Mirror
"No one interested in the intersection of race, class, and ideology can neglect this book. It deserves a wide audience among a new generation of college students."--Robert W. Rydell, Professor of History, Montana State University "A classic--one that helped launch the "new western history" and belongs on a short list of books that have transformed our understanding of the western experience."--Gary B. Nash, Director of the National Center for History in the Schools
