Reviews
"An important book for everyone interested in how factory workers who have been negatively impacted by plant closing and job loss, and their organizations, churches, and community groups can organize and create alternative economic models to fight this dislocation."--Industrial and Labor Relations Review
"Brecher records the false starts, successes, and failures of several efforts to develop economic democratization from below and he does it well. Recommended."--Choice
"An invaluable reflection on one community's imaginative efforts to overcome the bleak economic realities facing industrial regions everywhere and the solidarity that resulted."--Labour/Le Travail
"Accessible, clear, and engaged, Banded Together will make an impressive addition to the ways historians understand deindustrialization. Brecher's narrative is certain to be seen as a model by a new generation of labor historians, scholars, and scholar-activists."--Peter Rachleff, author of Hard Pressed in the Heartland: The Hormel Strike and the Future of the Labor Movement
"An invaluable resource for formulating strategies to rebuild economic democracy one community at a time."--Labor Studies Journal
