ITEM OVERVIEW
George State University has hosted the Southern Labor Studies Conferences approximately every two years. As evidenced by the quality of these essays, the field of southern labor history has come into its own. Research interest is peaking: the practitioners are young scholars, and much of their work emphasizes the new social and political history. The chronology represented in these essays ranges from the antebellum period to the 1970s, with essays including "Gender Relations in Southern Textiles;" "Prelude to the New Deal: The Political Response of South Carolina Textile Workers to the Great Depression, 1929-1933;" "Black Workers Remember: Industrial Unionism in the Era of Jim Crow;" and "Twice the Work of Free Labor? Labor, Punishment, and the Task System in Georgia's Convict Mines."
