From the founding of New Amsterdam until today, working people have
helped create and re-create the City of New York through their
struggles. Starting with artisans and slaves in colonial New York and
ranging all the way to twenty-first-century gig-economy workers, this
book tells the story of New York’s labor history anew. City of Workers,
City of Struggle brings together essays by leading historians of New
York and a wealth of illustrations, offering rich descriptions of work,
daily life, and political struggle. It recounts how workers have
developed formal and informal groups not only to advance their own
interests but also to pursue a vision of what the city should be like
and whom it should be for. The book goes beyond the largely white, male
wage workers in mainstream labor organizations who have dominated the
history of labor movements to look at enslaved people, indentured
servants, domestic workers, sex workers, day laborers, and others who
have had to fight not only their masters and employers but also labor
groups that often excluded them. Through their stories—how they fought
for inclusion or developed their own ways to advance—it recenters labor
history for contemporary struggles. City of Workers, City of Struggle
offers the definitive account of the four-hundred-year history of
efforts by New York workers to improve their lives and their
communities. In association with the exhibition City of Workers, City of
Struggle: How Labor Movements Changed New York at the Museum of the
