"Through the vividly drawn case studies described in this smart volume, Jon Shelton shows how the labor conflicts that rocked America's public schools in the tumultuous years between 1968 and 1981 altered the nation's politics and education policy, accelerating the decline of 1960s labor-liberalism and propelling the ascendancy of neoliberalism. His is a brilliantly recounted, timely, and sobering tale that illuminates the tangled roots of educational inequality, teacher disempowerment, and urban underfunding that continue to plague public education. It will interest all those who seek to revive both our schools and our democracy."--Joseph A. McCartin, author of Collision Course: Ronald Reagan, the Air Traffic Controllers, and the Strike that Changed America

"This is a fascinating study of the link between public perceptions of teachers' labor activism and the decline of political liberalism and public investment in education. Shelton makes a compelling case to place teachers' struggles for labor rights at the center of broader political changes of the last 50 years."--Kate Rousmaniere, author of Citizen Teacher: The Life and Leadership of Margaret Haley

"Shelton captures America at a pivotal moment, as long-held assumptions about the role of the state and unions in promoting growth and prosperity came under attack. An essential book for understanding an essential era in modern American history."--Jerald Podair, author of The Strike That Changed New York: Blacks, Whites, and The Ocean-Hill Brownsville Crisis

Jon Shelton is an assistant professor of democracy and justice studies at University of Wisconsin Green Bay.
