SUMMARY:Dockworker Power: Race and Activism in Durban and the San Francisco Bay Area
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nDockworkers have power. Often missed in commentary on today’s globalizing economy\, workers in the world’s ports can harness their role\, at a strategic choke point\, to promote their labor rights and social justice causes. Peter Cole brings such overlooked experiences to light in an eye-opening comparative study of Durban\, South Africa\, and the San Francisco Bay Area\, California. Path breaking research reveals how unions affected lasting change in some of the most far-reaching struggles of modern times.First\, dockworkers in each city drew on longstanding radical traditions to promote racial equality. Second\, they persevered when a new technology—container ships—sent a shockwave of layoffs through the industry. Finally\, their commitment to black internationalism and leftist politics sparked transnational work stoppages to protest apartheid and authoritarianism. \nRSVP: lindsayking@ucla.edu\nParking Information: Here\n
