Join us for our book club, Dust Jacket Journeys, where we invite you to explore perspectives around architecture, art, identity, and place. The selection of books this quarter will inspire thoughtful discussions and insights around the theme of labor. We look forward to a sharing a literary journey to new perspectives and new understandings one book at a time.
The names and faces of countless silenced, misrepresented, or forgotten leaders have been erased by time as a privileged few decide which stories get cut from the final copy: those of women, people of color, LGBTQIA people, disabled people, sex workers, prisoners, and the poor. In this definitive and assiduously researched must-read, Teen Vogue columnist and independent labor reporter Kim Kelly excavates that untold history and shows how the rights the American worker has today—the forty-hour workweek, workplace-safety standards, restrictions on child labor, protection from harassment and discrimination on the job—were earned with literal blood, sweat, and tears.
